Ok, here's an idea for some ingenuitive masher. I'm a visual person. I suck at planning when I can't visualize the what and where of what I'll be doing (or what I've done). In that single respect, thank Ford for Web 2.0 making things a degree more designerly! Anyway, here's what I want. Take Google or Yahoo Maps. Take my Upcoming feed (or just grab a microformatted event listing like the one on Tantek's site). And sure, grab a list of free or open wifi hotspots from Plazes. For bonus points, cross-reference the data with my Trazes and Dodgeball checkins to let me know when and if I or my friends have been there. Oh, and yeah, grab stuff from my Flickr stream and hey, Riya? could you like do some searching for photos from the events that I didn't attend but was watching on Upcoming? Yeah, tanx. And heck, let me throw random things at it like my PiC's feed or listing of upcoming Barcamps. Oh, and Flock? Could you like toss in my browser history sorted by geolocation and where I published various blog posts from? Sweet. Now, I want to see this stuff all pulled in together and tossed on a map. I want 30boxes without the 28, 29, 30 or 31 boxes. I want a big effin' map (I know Jeremy Kieth can help). And I want to see time represented like sheet music (credit goes to Greg Elin for that idea). Oh, and please note, this is not a business. It's an interface. ...Alright, fine, it's a big old Attention Aggregator -- except that it can look into the future and tell me where to be, when. Which makes this what?, an Intention Aggregator? Anh, whatever. It's a Mapendar and I want one!
