Getting Geograffr
Simply add the url of Geograffr to your profile on Orkut, Myspace, hi5, Ning, Plaxo or any other opensocial container:
http://geograffr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geo.xml
As your friends add this app as well, they will appear on the map.
Features
- Adds your friends' pictures on a map
- Drag and drop your marker to change your current location
- Displays the "social graph", i.e. which of the people displayed in the map are friends of each other.
Ideas for future development:
- Enter a new location by typing it in a text box
- See yours and your friends' past and future locations
