why is it everytime i think i have a good idea, someone has already taken it!?
Thursday, March 31st, 2005with all the hullabaloo these days about social networking, and my fondness for Google maps, I thought I had a good idea….
someone should create a site where “normal users” could create custom google maps to share with friends. I envisioned a simple web interface where someone could input addresses (or Lat/Long data) and have a custom map created which could be easily shared with friends. There could be all kinds of fun uses for stuff like this…convention maps, favorite hipster hangouts, flash mobs, pub crawls, and my personal favorite: map of registered sex offenders in the neighborhood.
As it turns out, someone already beat me to the idea…I still have something in my back pocket, but these guys are way ahead…
