Flagr, Map Bookmarking
Aside from the crazy amounts of Map sites out there, this one seems to work a tad different from the rest. In Flagr, you flag maps with bookmarks on the places you have visited or you can add interesting places you know about. Users are able to write small blurbs about these places and add photos and videos of their travels. For example, you can click on Alcatraz and see photos inside the facility. One of the cool features at this site is being able to join any map that has been created. This creates collaborative group project where you can, for example, have everyone place where the filthiest bathrooms are around the world. Another interesting feature has you adding bookmarks from your cellphone. Write a text message email with the location and the map’s email address and it will be added to the map. The only gripes I have about this site is how slow it can be. Sometimes I’ll have to zoom in and out just to force the map to load. Clicking on “Flags” gives the site horrendous loading times.
