Collaborative websites authored by "everyman" allow regular people to quickly share information with the world. Sites like Wikipedia and Daily Kos have contributed to the democratization of information in the recent past.



Now this paradigm is being applied to a new format: maps. Can activists take advantage of this?



Here are two services:

• Google Maps: Google Wants You to Become a Cartographer
• MapHub: MapHub: Collaborative Online Maps

Here are some ideas for how we can use these in our activism:

• Mark important historical sites (such as Haymarket Square)
• Increase visibility of radical/alternative institutions (such as the local radical book store, IWW office, or co-op)
• Plan routes for events (parades, etc)

Any other ideas?
