"You register, locate a place on the map (like all Google-style maps it zooms in from a bird’s eye position to close-ups of houses and streets) and place a virtual pin on it. With your pin you get the opportunity to add a personal story connected with that place..."
Apparently, lots of people have already started populating the map with their personal tales of romance, kinship, historical encounters, and other recollections. In a way, this becomes a clever way of linking a place to the population. The end result is stronger community bonds and rootedness to a location, and of course more love.
Would be a great idea to do this in Singapore. In fact, we already have a champion for this area. Now, all it takes is to expand it to personal stories.

totally cool eh? I was telling my bosses that we should help SingGeo with our dengue hotspots...or at least endorse it..

Jason,
Great idea! I think its similar to mapping out forest fires and also other environmental disasters.
Honestly, I feel that there is a lot of potential in blogging for green causes. Perhaps it could be my next big area other than marketing, PR and tourism/ travel.
