Flagr, bookmarking the real world

FlagrWhenever I visit a new restaurant, I think wow, this place is pretty cool, I need to remember this. Then what do I do? I forget all about it. Ever had the same problem? Flagr to the rescue. Flagr is an application built using RadRails (which for this post is unimportant), but more importantly integrates Google maps and your flags in a Flickr-ish way. Flagr will let you tag locations from your mobile phone, by sending a quick email. You can also add video to a location for that meta-vodcast-blogging-meets-real-world you've been itching to do. You'll never forget where something is or what you found there again. Flagr is of course a social "flag" sharing site, so you can find places based on other peoples tags and flags. That has a nice ring to it. Run the flag up that pole Johnny.
Flagr map with a flag on it. Ahhh, refreshing doughnuts.

Here is how to add video to the location you are flagging
