Hello fast people
I've written a site that maps twitter posts onto a global map. If you post #windsurflaunch from your phone (with location turned on) then it will show on this map. The idea is to have a single map that shows the global windsurfing activity.
As the technology-friendly end of the windsurfing fraternity, it would be great if you could try it..
The site is here

Any comments then please let me know
Cheers
Great idea, love it.
Similar to an idea in the NSW forum: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/New-South-Wales/Twitter-idea/
Be good if you could show other hastags on the map as we are starting to use #nswwind for wind reports in nsw.
"World class venue - Port Phillip Bay is home to some of the finest conditions on the globe."
Huh? What have I been missing?
Great idea though.
there was only one geolocated tweet...
The map won't show anything that's not got a detailed location on it.
Everyone - feel free to send in some test tweets to see them come up on screen.
I'd like to get an idea this weekend of how likely this is to work... providing it's windy obviously.
I ran another test today. It's possible to take a picture of the conditions and tweet that too.
