Platial mapping and user content

April 27th, 2007 Bruce No comments

This has been around for awhile and is looking interesting – bit of a buzz about its uses going on at the minute:

Briefly then, it’s a tool for people to create their own maps – i.e. adding own places to google maps to create a map of say their top ten bars in London. This can then be shared with others users and added to by these users. Piccies and video (from Flickr and Youtube) can also be added – and as these maps can be easily incorporated into most blogging engines it’s a possibly interesting way of doing the whole ‘user generated content’ doo dah.
