    MapSkip.com - Your Stories Your World

    The planet is vast, but it has been squashed by the Internet that "connects us all." Bringing back the idea that the world still holds unknown places, beautiful stories, unforgettable images and real live people, MapSkip offers world wanderers a place to exhibit their ideas from all over the globe.

    By using Google maps as a canvas, users can plot their vacations, memorable events and lives and with them share stories, photos and memories. This is a free site that requires registration to enter. Once registered, users can take a trip through other members' maps, stories, photos and profiles. MapSkip.com is a great way to share current adventures with family and friends spread all over the world and also get ideas for new adventures. There are five lists of superlatives that are available to skim, they include: highest rated authors, most discussed author, most prolific author, highest rated stories and most popular places. Users can choose to make their MapSkip private and share it amongst their own tribe or they can ramp it up and compete for high ratings.

    Some questions about Mapskip.com

    Can audio and video be involved as well?

    Mapskip.com In their own words

    "MapSkip makes the world a canvas for our stories and photos.
    It is an ancient human instinct to share our life stories with others, as the paintings and hand prints in stone-age caves show.
    And many of our stories are about places. Where we fell in love, had the dream vacation, took that great picture or, well, joined the rebellion. And then there are the many other places that anchor our lives - where we live, eat, work and have fun."

    Why Mapskip.com might be a killer

    Travellers frequently have a hard time explaining where they are and what they are actually doing. The idea of using a map to plot experiences and movement is already popular and if users keep up with it they will end up having created a great scrapbook.
