Share your home town

In my never-ending quest to find new and useful features on the internet, I discovered "Frappr!", a service that allows groups of people to mark their locations on a group map.

I set up a Frappr map for Raccoon Creek Community. You can add your "pin" to the map, with only two restrictions:
  1. Please select your pin color accurately. There are five choices shown under the map.
  2. If you choose to enter a "shout out", please be careful to make it appropriate for "children of all ages." You'll see what a shoutout is when you visit the site.
You don't need to enter any more than a name and zip code, but you may post a picture of yourself or your home or garden. You may adjust the placement of your home "pin" to be more precise, but only if you wish to.

Let us know what you think of this feature.   If folks think it's of value, I'll add it permanently to our web site and to the "permanent" column to the right of this posting.
