Well, you guys beat us to number one, but don't expect to stay there for too long!
Great site, i think its cool that you can keep a list of places you like online, and share them with friends.
Strengths:
Great layout, very easy on the eyes. good mashup that is simple yet useful.
Weakness:
Use Case: I entered my name, map was centered on somewhere in california. i then typed in "shoes brighton, mi" which then provided a list of shoe stores in brighton. but the map did not change location, nor was i able to add anything to my favorites list when clicking on the add part under each item. so i then typed in buds name after refreshing the site. the map is still centered on california, but i click on one of his favorite places. the map then centers on somewhere in ypsi which is good, but im not able to add any new favorites to his places.
my questions are...
1. am i just not able to create a new user and add favorite places yet, or is this a bug?
2. Do you have the ip address locator working or is it that if it cant get my ip address, it defaults to california.
3. im not sure why the "add to my favorite places" button/link isnt working.
Overall great site, just some bugs to work out, i hope you guys get the third column, that our guest suggested, for iteration 3.
