Contributing Writer, RealTechNews
Frapper, the friend mapper, is a great little site that uses Google maps to let you see friends or places worldwide at a single glance. You can set up any group you wish, such as friends, relatives, Xbox 360 Kiosks or Real Tech News Readers. All you have to do is enter a zip code or the city closest to you along with your name, optional picture and a “shout out”. GO HERE TO ADD YOURSELF to the Real Tech News Frapper site! Source:Gizmodo
