Helping to test some new social software produces a world map.
The blue is where I’ve been and the orange is where I’d like to go according to what I’ve tagged so far. Some of the orange has overwritten blue though, because I’ve been to Queensland but I’d like to go to Tasmania.
update:
The site is now live, and open to anybody to help build – if interested just make your way over to 43places.com. Seeya.

Sounds interesting. When will this software be available for the masses? When you mention about tagging, do you mean it looks at photos, links, blog posts etc that you’ve tagged, or do you add new tags into the software for the different places?
My use of the word tagging in this post was a bit clumsy, although the software does use tagging to enable further descriptions of the places. The places themselves are also part of a hiearchical taxonomy which users can add to, and that part is proving contentious, thanks to my own vigorous testing. You should probably try and get involved since this is your subject – reactivate your 43things account and add the goal.
