Title: An idea about members' locations.
Post by: Splashdown on September 27, 2011, 10:21:19 AM: The thread on the recent "peep-a-thon" gave me an idea. Would it be feasible/possible/desirable to have some kind of interactive map--almost push-pin style--where members could post their general locataion?

It think it would be really cool to see the geographical breakdown of membership on a map of some sort.

Thoughts?

It would require Javascript - which I keep turned off because I don't like somebody else installing/executing code on my machine.

Maybe it could be done by state only? Then up to individuals to contact each other to see if they want interaction.

My thoughts exactly.

I wasn't thinking of a GPS location...more of a general area.
