More Mapping Goodness

Yesterday was just full of map references. Another cool thing I found out about is the Jabber World Map. If you are a Jabber user, you can register with the map notifier, and your status will show up on the map. You’ll have to email your location name and lat/long coords to the administrator (instructions are at the bottom of the web page, below the map).

I’ll probably hack some Jabber features into my blog one of these days. At the very least, I could easily add a status indicator to show if I’m offline, away, available, etc. I also want to come up with some more ways to cross-pollinate Jabber with FOAF. My JabFoaf project helps get FOAF data out of Jabber. Now I want to do something to get FOAF into Jabber. I’m just not sure exactly how I want to do it, yet.

Stumble It!
