web2.0 Maps, the new new thing?
Another week another hype. This week: Maps. And in particular Web2.0 maps! I don’t see the businessmodel yet but I’m sure someone does. I just received a message with 3 more maps that include (or should include) links to Fleck. This is one is new and has a focus on europe:

I wonder what all these maps are going to lead to and how we will benefit from knowing that there are more Web2.0 start-ups in some places than others.

Myself, I think the use of these maps are a bit pointless to a certain degree. I mean it’s nice to see a graphical representation of where users are etc but in terms of it becoming something ground breaking, I don’t see anything that could cause that. Things like Google maps are exceptionally useful, especially for my A-level geography and route planning but I don’t think that maps are going to give us much else to rave about.

I think you and all the other real Web 2.0 startups out there ought to be using the Web 2.0 maps to locate and go meet the other Web 2.0 startups nearby, hang out, and share ideas.
After all, you’re blogging about having trouble with CSS, right? You’re not the only ones with web design issues out there. Sadly, we’re in Australia and you’re in Europe, or I’d be looking you up on the Web 2.0 map, calling you to arrange a time, and taking you out for several beers and a productive chat.
The other use for Web 2.0 maps is to help VCs find you
