Have you joined the Fluther Map?

Asked by eambos (8909points) June 6th, 2008

playthebanjo had a very interesting idea- map out the location of the other Fluther users. If you haven’t added yourself, or would like to see what it’s about, here’s the link.

I’m going to when I get home. I can’t get to it from work for some reason. I think it was a great idea!

Do you have a gmail account? If you log into that then you should be able to add a pin nearby to where you live.

Just added myself to the map :)

Thanks for posting the link again! I wasn’t sure about the fluthetiquette (fluther + etiquette) of reposting a topic just to bring it back to the fore.

: )

I do, but I haven’t used it in a long time, so I will get the pasword off my computer at home and put up my pin then.

I feel that this is certainly important enough to keep going. I’ve always wondered where the person I am conversing with is located in the world. Once again, Great Idea!

XCNuse's avatar

waterskier: look back about 10 hours. There is a post by me with the directions. I would post the link but I cant copy and paste.

Keep the Fluther map alive…

I put my place on yesterday, but it’s not exact, I’m weary about this things ;)

“Have you joined the Fluther Map?”
Yes

syz's avatar

It’s very cool, but I’m afraid I’m stumped as far as getting on to it.

eambos's avatar

Click the link. Then, if you have a gmail account, log in. If you don have one then you might have to make one. Then click “edit” and you can add a pin right where you live. Good luck!

And I found that I was already logged in to my Gmail account when I opened the map. I only found the pin to place on the map once I logged out and then logged back in. Maybe that will help.

Randy's avatar

Did it! Yeah! It was a little confusing at first. I was mostly just scared I was going to mess up somebody else’s marker or text. Got it though!

playthebanjo's avatar

great! Thanks for taking part!
