Map Your Foursquare, Facebook, and Gowalla Checkins at WeePlaces.com

Map Your Foursquare, Facebook, and Gowalla Checkins at WeePlaces.comHow often do you check in to Foursquare, Facebook, and/or Gowalla geolocation services when you’re out and about? Some people can be downright obsessive about it, while others can take it or leave it. But if a list of places that you’ve been between between the time you started checking in doesn’t get you excited, then a visual representation of your meanderings — a map, as it turns out — might serve to tickle your fancy. How many times do you eat at your favorite restaurant in comparison to how many times you put gas in your car? What are your most traveled routes? When you’re trying to get a perspective on this kind of data, sometimes it’s all in the presentation.

The location craze is upon us in full effect, folks. It used to be that most social networking activity involved conversation, but these days, people’s feeds are also full of location updates about where they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re going. This location craze doesn’t seem like it’s going to be slowing down any time soon, either. Foursquare in particular has been one of the leaders in this space, and it’s continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. Since we all go to a variety of places in a period of time, it can be interesting to map out your travel activity, and that’s what WeePlaces.com enables you to do.

The service connects with your Foursquare, Facebook, or Gowalla account to present you with an interactive map that retraces your steps over a period of time. It’s important to note that this isn’t just some boring map. The map, timeline, and visualizations are beautiful, and you can get a feel for this by looking at the examples on the site. If you’re an active Foursquare, Facebook, or Gowalla user, looking at your visualization will make you feel like a big traveler. And now, you can even compare your travels with your friends. Pretty neat stuff!

    owaaaaw ,I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use http://vork.us/go/rsw8

    Not to diminish this in any way, but every 2 minutes there is an accident involving drunk driving. 274 people die daily involving drunk driving. Why isn’t the country up in arms about this? We have control over this but not much is being done.

  5. I’m also disappointed for the time being. But I’d buy a lightsaber from your son for $900!
