Remember imagemaps from Web 0.9b? I'm curious about the state of this tag now in 2010.
Given some of the surprising and successful resurgences of white elephant technologies (Google Maps' use of Javascript, which was novel when it first appeared, and MySpace ushering in an animated GIF renaissance), is anyone using imagemaps today in new or interesting ways? How do they fare in current browsers, and do they play well with contemporary Javascript techniques or other new technologies?
