Wayfaring is a service that allows you to create your own customized and annotated
Google Map and share it. Or, just browse the maps others have created — from the Philadelphia Marathon route to LA gay bars to best
places to snorkel on Maui. You can leave comments on each map or contact the mapmaker directly with questions. This
is cool on a large scale to share points of interest with a wide audience, or on a small scale to set up a map of your
family's recent road trip to share with your friends, e.g. — I like that it works on both levels. The keys will
be getting people to come contribute to another data silo, and making sure folks can easily find something interesting
when they're browsing/searching.

and Narendra Rocherolle for the heads up!]

(Page 1)2. bingo. i couldn't agree more. yet another argument for Identity 2.0... if that data were portable (i.e. standards-based and open), I'd have no qualms about investing the time.

1. Reminds me of GMapTrack. One problem with these services is that you don't know how long they'll be around so it's not clear how much time you want to invest in customizing them.
