geoflags.de: digital depiction of the world
17 May. 2008 | Author: A new internet portal, geoflags.de has recently been launched. It concerns itself with the geographic location/placement of places, news and individuals.
Using the new portal, visitors generate a map view after entering a place name. On the displayed map, numerous varied-color markers – called Geoflags here– are visible. The flags indicate various points of interest: such as special attractions, museums or hotels, as well as standard frequent searches such as restaurants, mail boxes, shopping or cinemas. Not only these flags are displayed, but also Place-markers [de=Ortsmarker] reflecting detailed information about palces in the news, with addresses, Wikipedia articles, photos or comments of other users. The gain a better overview, one can sort and display the Geoflags using one or more category links in the menu list.
The Place-markers are the result of a cooperation between the portal operators with various partners, including Wikipedia, tagesschau.de and booking.de. Further Geoflags may be added by registered users of geoflags.de. Membership of this new portal is free for private individuals.
In a press release, the operators Geoflags GbR in Hamburg, outline the aim of the new undertaking. The goal is the “digital depiction of your world from above”. It aims to be more than the standard modern online directory with comment functionality; Geoflags differs from services like Google Maps or Qype, by using real-time information about friends, non-commercial markers or current news about the vicinity.
A mobile version of the service is planned; according to the operators it is hoped to be market-ready in May 2008.
