the Frappr pic) how much of a bird entusiast Byard is."
Thanks Murf. That reminded
me...
About that Frappr map stuff... what really
happened? It dropped in more people than I'd ever imagined. I even started to
believe that I would see where all the "everyday listers" were located. But it
abruptly stopped at 69. It hasn't changed
since before Christmas... and still there are everyday listers not to be
found on the map. Did it (temporarily) fall in the shadow of Christmas and New
Year and all that stuff... or was it forgotten alltogether?
Nothing will tie you to anything. You can go
in there, put your name on the map and then never return there again (if you
want)... but your contribution to your friends will still last.

do for you : Ask what you can do for VFB."

*******************************
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?
