FolkMapping with FoundCity

Combining this whole folksonomies thing with Google Maps, FoundCity is a new group mapping tool for cellphones. Ok, ok, maybe that sounds all too familiar, but what makes this one different is the ability to tag the physical space, not just the virtual one. As in, when you're walking around the city and see street art you like you can attach it to pre existing tags (i.love.you, street.art), or start your own tags, like "acupuncture.videos" that go in a citywide database — like del.icio.us for the city. Then when you're online you can check out where and what other people are tagging—and then like all of these apps, get one step closer to dating them.
