Share Your Trips With Schmapplets
Schmapplets is a clever tool that allows users to make customizable maps of places they've been or places they want to go. Appropriate for everything from planning a cross-country road-trip; to sharing photos from a recent hike through the Appalachians; to showcasing your favorite fishing holes, Schmapplets mashes together Google Maps, photo galleries, and a text editor and presents it in an easy-to-use interface.
The Schmapplet below is from Venice Carnevale. It spotlights the places Pat visited, some photos taken during the event, and provides space for a review/description of the experience.
The bummer about Schmapplets is that you need to download software to use it. The software is free to install, but with other no-download-necessary mapping/photo- and video-sharing tools available to people, I wonder if this will take off. Still, a very cool concept.

There is actually a site that provides similar capabilites online, nothing to download. TripWiser http://www.tripwiser.com . This is an Ajax-based trip and itinerary building site, with thousands of available itineraries for travel in the United States and Canada that can be customized. I particularly love their drag-and-drop functionality for scheduling.
