Default Frappr map

I thought it would be a cool idea if we could graphically show peoples' locations over time, making it easy to think about hooking up with people to form local groups? Frappr seems to offer this sort of funcionality so here as an experiment is my Frappr map

Personal Development - Frappr Maps

If it proved useful, maybe we could sticky it to the top of the list?

Sounds like a neat idea. I don't have a Frappr account. Do the allow us to embed this page into another?

Let me bounce it off the other admins and mods.
P.S. I added myself already!

I'm not sure, I'm new to Frappr myself. I'll have a look.

Edit: Yes they do, ... the code for this map would be
HTML Code:
<div><style>a.frappr_promo:hover img{width:209px;height:28px;}a.frappr_promo2:hover img{width:171px;height:28px;}a.frappr_promo3:hover img{width:28px;height:28px}a.frappr_pending:hover img{height:28px;width:178</style> <embed quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" src="http://www.frappr.com/ajax/yvmap.swf" name="frapprMap" flashvars="host=http://www.frappr.com/&origin=other&lo=1&mvid=4337940" salign="l" align="middle" scale="noscale" width="800" height="400" ></embed></div> <div style="width:800px; text-align:left;"> <a href="http://visitor.frappr.com/?src=flash_map&sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=4337940&origin=other" target="_blank" class="frappr_promo"><img src="http://www.frappr.com/i/promo_map_anim.gif" title="Frappr.com" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.frappr.com/?a=showmap2&mapid=2906750&src=flash_map&sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=4337940&origin=other&ct=seemore" target="_blank" class="frappr_promo2"><img src="http://www.frappr.com/i/vm_seemore.gif" title="Frappr.com" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.frappr.com/?a=showmap2&mapid=2906750&src=flash_map&sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=4337940&origin=other&ct=pendingpins" target="_blank" class="frappr_pending"><img src="http://www.frappr.com/dyn_map/2906750/origin:other/pendingpins.gif" title="Frappr.com" border="0"/></a><a href="http://www.frappr.com/?a=feedback&type=vm" target="_blank" class="frappr_promo3"><img src="http://www.frappr.com/i/qmark.gif" title="Frappr.com" border="0"/></a> </div>

And I see you are in Toronto, pi11... beautiful city, beautiful country... my birth mother lives in St Catherines... don't visit half as often as I would like

We could always look at integrating googlemap functionality instead... I've just been looking through the API's and it looks as if, if someone had the time and inclination, an in-house solution could be created with huge flexibility

It would be neat to have the frappr or google map presented for the local group threads. If I had the time, I could write something up. This is a call for anyone interested in writing up a forum plugin that allows for that. It would be a neat way to learn about SOA, web services, AJAX, etc.
