I have known about and used the 43places website for a few months: it is a fun example of socially designed web 2.0 technology. Tonight I found World66, which is similar to 43places in having users create a dynamic world map of places they have been– but it does it in a Wiki style, and is essentially an online, user-created travel guide. Interesting and potentially useful!
My 43places site is accessible from www.43places.com/person/wfryer. We used the 43places website last school term for a student multimedia PowerPoint project on places people want to travel.
