I had originally had a similar (but much smaller) idea; I was going to use a Flickr photostream and map all the pictures within a certain time range that had geolocation information, but Mapendar includes that and much more. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.

I'll have to come-by again sometime and show it to you, Chris. Haha, It’s quite funny to see how similar your mock-up is to Zooomr 2. I’ll have to come-by again sometime and show it to you, Chris.

For events that have no geolocation, we could do an autolookup against Yahoo's Maps API... or yes, ask for user input. Ideally the mapping would be done automagically, with no extra effort on your part. March only has 18 boxes to show the idea that you wouldn't need a box for every day -- time is approximate based on activity, not date. 18 boxes is arbitrary and could include more or less depending on "resolution" -- are you looking at hours, days, years and so on... Interestingness could determine which data objects actually show up per view... so if you're at the hour view, maybe everything shows up... at the week view, maybe only 20% of that week's most interesting events show up... who knows! I only proposed it because I was inspired by a conversation I had w/ Tara... not because I intended to build it. If there's enough interest, heck, go for it! Just make sure it's open licensed! ;) @ Holly: No one’s working on this yet, but it might be something we work on at Mashpit II.
