In those days there were no cell phones, and I didn't know much web development. Now, with GPS embedded into photos, this is perhaps a really easy site to build.
But I don't want to deal with user moderation. And I don't want the burden of continual maintenance.
I was also concerned that a side effect would be really nice, not frequently visited spots will suddenly overflow with tourists. A much tougher problem to crack.
I don't think I'll ever get around to it. Someone convince me otherwise. Or better yet, build it for me. :-)
