Map mashups are everywhere, many of them are also mobile
enabled, providing users with the ability to update and share their
places from their mobile... findbyclick is just such an application -
location-based intelligence and social networking all in one.
At first it may look like just another Google map
mashup, however, look a bit deeper and this excellent application
provides a very intuitive gateway where registered users can input and
share all their favorite places.
Using the popular tags feature, users
can quickly and easily identify places near them, perhaps public
toilets, a Costco Store, theaters, restaurants and more. Even better,
the user community can register and add their own favorite places along
with reviews and comments.
Setting this app apart from many
popular Google map mashups is the mobile client which supports most of
the popular Symbian S60 devices like the Nokia N95 , E90, N80, N92 and
several Son y Ericsson UIQ devices as well
