Now in public beta, GeoGraffiti is a free “Verbal Bulletin Board” that allows you to record and share location-specific voice notes, or “Voice Marks”, whether you’re on the go or in front of your computer. Find a new coffee shop that you love? Call up GeoGraffiti, and leave a Voice Mark to let the world know.
The uses are pretty interesting: traffic cam warnings, cool restaurants, and public restrooms are a few that come to mind without even thinking.

Love it! But apologies for a somewhat self-serving comment, but we’ve been out with w voice map API that will let developers create any type of voice/map integration they’d care to imagine. Mo K. at blabberize put this one together.

The exciting thing to see here is that developers are thinking about creating new and novel voice apps. For any developers tinkering in the space, we have an api for you that manages all the telco complexity. We process the call as you want us to, and pass you the voice file mashup how ever you desire. Completely free.

I haven’t looked at it too much, but this is an amazing thought I’ve had for a while. If I could stand outside of a restaurant and leave a “note” for the people in the area about my experience, that would be amazing and potentially very powerful.
Thanks for mentioning GeoGraffiti! I wanted to let your readers know we are currently working on adding features to make the user experience as easy as possible. Like allowing users to ’save’ Voice Marks created via cell phone while on location, so that at a later time they can publish and geotagg the Voice Mark using our Google map mashup at http://www.geograffiti.com/gu/SearchMap.html. More elegant solutions for auto-location determination will also become available later this year when GeoGraffiti plugs into the GPS APIs of the iPhone and Android platforms. This means our telephone UI at (213) 221-3802, won’t require manual caller intervention (like entering zip code) to designate their location when publishing or searching for Voice Marks when about-n-about or standing on the establishment’s doorstep.
Thanks again, and we look forward to evolving GeoGraffiti to meet our early adopters’ requests and needs. Voice Mark the World!
I love this one: http://www.mapisimo.com. It allows any web surfer to exclusively own any piece of land on earth - for free. In fact two pieces of lands.
First come, first served. Quick - earth is running out!
i’m NYC biased, but i think http://www.socialight.com is cooler…
