Intent Two: Mapping the fun

INTENT TWO: Mapping the fun

Mapping programs have been used for a lot of things in the last few years. We have been able to find directions for road trips, been able to mark our friends on the map, and even at times been able to write about worldly events on a map. These things serve as practical and political uses, but what about just for the fun of it.

I hope to take mapping technology to a fun place. Using maps and a given set of tools, users will be able to map all their fun road trips, slumber parties, concerts, or whatever they feel like it, but wait there's more. Is there a world you live in that no one else does? Make it up and put it on the map. Have a childhood lab when you were little, sure that's fair game. Want to map Desperate Housewives's Wisteria Lane or Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Sunndydale in a visual episode guide? DO WHAT YOU WANT. The map is yours for the taking. Add friends, and share maps, creating your own networks and play until every map place , fiction or non-fiction have a place in this world!
