So you'd like to make an Ajax map
Our own Mark Paschal just visited Linden Lab, the creators of the popular online gaming community Second Life, and he was inspired to create a new app called Landmarker.
From Mark's description:
At Cienna Rand's suggestion, I've been building a site to classify and share Second Life landmarks, Landmarker. On the writing side, you can post landmarks, write a description, add lightweight categories (tags), and link to pictures taken of that place with Snapzilla or Flickr (*cough* TypePad *cough*). For reading, you can browse by author, tag, or in-world geography. You can also add authors and tags to your "inbox" to check more easily.
Full technical details of the implementation are described in Mark's post, and since Mark spends a lot of time working on TypePad, the best way for this to come full circle will be for news of Landmarker to show up on one of the Second Life blogs that are powered by TypePad.
