MapSkip
http://www.mapskip.com
MapSkip makes the world a canvas for our stories and photo.
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.
Join the MapSkip community in exploring the world through shared stories, pictures, videos and sound recordings about all the places in our lives.
