Frappr!
Frappr!
What's that? You're a sucker for any new product from the Google team, no matter how pointless? Me too!
Should I be slightly ashamed that I am such a Googlite? Maybe. Will I show you Frappr! anyway? Yes.
So the idea is that you can join a group and add your location. For example, say you browsed to the Privatjokr Frappr! Map, you would have the ability to see where certain jokers hang their hats (by zip code only) and add yourself as well.
Before you know it, we could have three whole dots on the map; me and my two readers. (I love you mom and dad.)

i'd recommend google put an edit option so people don't go adding themselves twice.

I think I saw something somewhere that was to the effect of "friend mapper". I don't question the man behind the curtain.

From Wikipedia:
Etymology
The name "Google" is a play on the word "Googol", which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nine-year-old nephew of U.S. mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938, to refer to the number represented by 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the Web. As a further play on this, Google's headquarters are referred to as "the Googleplex" — a googolplex being 1 followed by a googol of zeros, and the HQ being a complex of buildings (cf. multiplex, cineplex, etc).
