Everyone loves a story, yet they have been around for a long time. Stories build our culture. They identify us. Stories inform, motivate, inspire. Stories warn us. Today, technology allows us to share stories like never before (text, audio, video, images, sensors, tags, links). I would like people to use/create/share live maps and also to become the map if they so choose. Community maps can link people with common interests; locally or around the world. They can be dynamic and organic; real or imagined; fixed or transient; two-dimensional, three dimensional, time-based, or beyond. A smarter city can build community through its shared stories and live maps.
