WHERE ARE WE... REALLY?
I've found something now that might shed a
little light on it... or to be more correct: Teresa found it and told me that
this online map might be good to show us where our VFB-family members are
located. I've set up a VFB map now, added myself and now I'm waiting
(hoping) for more tags on the map.
*************
Follow the link http://www.frappr.com/flytiers and
you will come to a page with a map. Under it you type your name and city and press the
'Add Me!' button... and that completes the BASIC registering to the group. A
tag on the map will be added. If someone clicks on it or clicks on your name
in the list beside, it will activate by showing a "bubble" with your name and
city. (An option to the basic registration is to also submit a photo that will
be shown together with your name).
But you will also get the option to create
an account and make a personalized profile page. (This can be done
at a later time if you wish.) There you can submit a photo of yourself (that
will be shown in that little bubble by your tag on the map)... as well as
a little profile (if you want)... and maybe some more photos (if you want
to share).
The map is quite good and you can zoom
really close. In USA it's even detailed down to road names.
Note:
There is no need (or even an
option) to fill in your street address here. It's just for
overview. And you can be removed from the map at anytime. (If you have
created an account you can do it yourself. If you just did the basic, then I
will do it for you.)

Options and options... but all I ask for
is really the basic one, to see a tag with a name. Am I the only one on
this list who have been curious about where my best friends live?
