Isn't that basically what Foursquare does?


I'm thinking of people (geo nerds) who like to look at maps and remark about things. Not people who want to tell the world they're at Starbucks.


Have you used Foursquare recently? While it originally focused on broadcasting one's location, it's more about social recommendations now, which really isn't far from "social map annotation" in practice. Especially when you have people leaving notes in parks and bridges and buildings telling you about neat features and not just "the denver omelette is amazing here!"


I have not, that's pretty interesting. Looks like I have some browsing to do between Wikimapia and Findery.

Thanks, guys/gals.
