I met Felix Petersen, one of the bright minds behind Plazes, in Paris at the Les Blogs conference. They have released some new, cool functionality: a mapping of where you have logged in over the past 30, 60, 90, or 365 days. Here's the map of my travels over the past year.
I noticed a few mistakes in the lat/long have screwed up the map: my trip to Vancouver for Northern Voice, for example, has me in Ontario somewhere. But that was operator error on my part. Also various trips are missing, where I wasn't using wifi, like Nice, Amsterdam, and London, last summer. I think Plazes needs to add support for tagging via ethernet, not just wifi.
What I want now is integration with my future calendar events, so friends and family can see my upcoming travel plans, and could then contact me about getting together. I have already asked Felix to put on the wishlist, but who knows?
