Google Mash-Up With A SoSoft Angle
For awhile there, I stopped getting invited to all the cool beta tests, but I think I'm getting back in the loop. Here's one I'm having fun with — it's called Platial. It's still in Preview Mode at this point, and all usual caveats about browser compatibility and such-all apply. Simple approach — tag locations and share them. Google Maps is on the back end, like all the other cool mash-ups. This one is distinctive in that you actually author the represented locales, rather than having data pulled from some other data source, like Craig's List or some crimes database.
