The web has redefined the word
"community." In some ways it has made a user's physical location
irrelevant. Recently, however, a fascination with physical place has
engendered a new crop of applications aimed at helping users and social
networks to map themselves on the web. These apps lets users identify
and annotate places, see where their friends are, and link physical
locations with other web-based information and technologies.

Notes: Users have insentives to post their location/journal data when that data is as open as possible. B/c of technical limits it is very difficult to do user-centered design. There needs to be more user-centered design.
