Could you all help me brainstorm something?
Do you think there would be any use for a Federated location sharing app? Something that would let you mark an annotate locations in the world to share places of interest with your friends or to publicize things that are happening.
We could make a distributed, location-based search engine that pulls up all of the annotations within some radius.
Yes? No? I鈥檇 love to hear if this community thinks it would be valuable.

I'm collecting info for a Federated #Map server. Something that would let people share info and comment on what's going on at specific places out in the world.
There are lots of ways this might be useful to our community, so I've written a super-rough-draft spec on my website.

Just like #Bandwagon, this app would sit on top of #Emissary so most of this is already built. We just need to connect the dots.
