A large contributor has been google maps and the many ingenious ways to make use of them in various websites. Take for example a beta site I came across randomly while following some photography links - Frappr! - allows it's users to create their own (google) maps, mapping people of different interest. When I clicked on the about us link in their footer it seems that their purpose has grown further than the initial plan of mapping where college friends had moved to. A very short snippet from their about us link reads...
Frappr was created by Brian, Kun and James at Rising Concepts, who wanted to see where all their high school and college friends went after they graduated.Current users have created maps for such things as their myspace friends, tv show fan locations, band tour gigs. I can't wait to see what's next.
Frappr (Friend Mapper) lets you see the zip code where your friends live or work, letting you find out who works in the office building next door and who lives in the apartment complex across the street.
