Pinning Down Wikimapia
Wikimapia [via Glitchy] seeks to “describe the whole planet Earth” using the open-editing principles of Wikipedia, but in a map-based format. It’s a nice-idea, but it seems to be a bit buggy still, and not all that different from Platial or Community Walk. Ogle Earth also flags a new mapping app that sounds slightly more interesting: Pin in the Map lets you quickly add a marker to Google Maps that you can then send to a friend, complete with a link to the Google Earth location, if you like. And you don’t need to create an account to use it. It’s the TinyURL of place, as Stefan says.
