Tagzania - Tagging the planet
Someone must have thought: “What’s cool these days? Flickr, del.icio.us, tagging, folksonomy, Google Maps, RSS, KML, … What if I combined these?” Enter Tagzania. Geotagging using the Google Maps API. Or as they put it:
Tagzania is about tags and places. If you register and log in, you can add places, points, to create and document your maps. When you add a point, you may tag it with keywords. That way, Tagzania is not only a place to build and keep your own maps, shared territories are created as well.
For an example see my map (RSS) (KML).

But more feature will come, there’s no lack of ideas. -

Nice tool you have. For some more inspiration, are you familiar with: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/digital-photos/map-flickr-photos-with-google-earth-110590.php ? Don’t know if that is possible with the Google Maps API.
