A new map mashup

Want to share your favorite places or at least remember them? Check out Platial - a new map mashup (a more advanced version of Google maps).

From Trendcentral Newsletter:

A few weeks ago, we talked about the Google Maps phenomenon an explosion of sites utilizing the Google Map API to integrate geographical location with online content. Mix MySpace, Yellow Arrow, LiveJournal, and Google Earth and you get Platial, a new map mashup with an extra customized twist.

Users of Platial create maps to mark locations with significant meaning to them. Created for themselves, or shared with others, users map objects, events, and even feelings: not-to-miss bakeries, the location of a first kiss, an awful breakup, an unusual city view, a group of favorite yarn shops. . Using tags, commentary, and place markers, map makers can organize and share their personal stories with others. So, the next time you find a great unmarked bar at 3 a.m., make sure you mark it on your map before you forget.
