Since it seems your blog covers just about everything mapping related, I thought that Gwigo (Go Where I GO) might interest you. It's a mapping-social network site that allows you to create cool maps of things that interest you and allow non-gwigo users to vote on the locations you map. If you are Gwigo friends with another person, you can view their points, give them a ranking, comment on them etc.
Anyhow it seemed up your alley. Check it out at http://www.gwigo.com
It’s great to see good information being shared and also to see fresh, creative ideas that have never been done before.
nice post. Keep moving Forward
Very well explained. I would like to say that it is very interesting to read your blog.
