Thing #11

For the Web 2.0 awards exercise I explored Wayfaring, a mapping tool. I found maps showing favorite spots, homes, etc. Some users have created travelogues, showing their route plus videos or pictures of their trip.

For library-related applications this can be used in mapping events, library locations, users, conference locations, etc. If the PLA Symposium locations would be mapped out, all the markers would be in Chicago, except now San Jose would be included in the map and show one marker. As the Symposium gets held in other places, markers would be added showing those locations.
