-- Kun, Frappr! Co-Founder

Platial and Frappr! Maps are free and can be embedded on any Web page, blog or online community that supports flash or javascript embeds, including MySpace, Friendster, Xanga, Typepad, Wordpress, Google, Facebook and Hi5. We are the world's largest social map service. We help turn your ordinary Web pages into interactive, fun and engaging destinations. Frappr! Maps give Web site owners and visitors an easy and unique way to visualize and interact with each other. Visitors can add their name, photo and message directly on a Web page embedded with Frappr! Maps, and the Web site owner gets real-time stats on where visitors are coming from and how often they visit"

DoD is working to develop stance on social Web sites | font, span, windowtext

DoD is working to develop stance on social Web sites | font, span, windowtext - News - Jacksonville Daily News: "The Department of Defense has issued a study of social media Web sites and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is filling out waivers to keep theirs, Marine officials say.

Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III directed a study of social media sites — including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube — in hopes of establishing a policy by October, according to Associated Press reports. The study is being done to address security challenges and the communication value the sites have to the DoD.

Until the study is complete, there is not a department-wide ban of social networking and Web 2.0 tools, though restrictions may occur due to bandwidth or security concerns, according to the AP."
