If you are anything like me, you'll love this! As close as I can tell, it merges a comment box, Googles' Earth World and a photogallery and more into one tidy parcel. How cool is that!? It's only in beta, but it's free. W00t! At the moment mine has a popular of 1 but I'll sure a number of you will take one look at this and fall in love!

It's also technically able to be done without the user actually inputting where they are from. For example, you can see the location of all the user's that are currently using this forum here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/usermap.php Also, I threw together a system where other people can use it for their own site (go to my blog at http://www.digitalpoint.com/~shawn/ ) and click on the "Geo Visitors" button on the upper right to see it in action. Nice thing about doing it that way is 1. the user doesn't have to bother inputting anything and 2. the user can't fudge their location.
Sorry Mella, no. That those missing wire transfers from NatWest to CitiBank where nothing to do with me. Ask the bank, they'll deny the millions went missing... Also, to me, the idea for Frappr isn't as a tracking tool (Google Analyzer take take of that), but as a traffic tool. It's crass, geeky and even a little tacky. Obviously it has mass market appeal for the great unwashed out there
