we had a network for frequent travelers....

this has been on my mind for a long time. i'm always traveling and know people all around the world. i'd always wished i could just drop in to town and instantly know who was in - resident or guest.....

what has me more interested these days is the emergence of the social/functional/business networking sites. things like plaxo.com (a great candidate for this feature and one that i already heavily use) and linkedIn.com..... i was imagining a service or addon to an existing one that would allow the user to simply click on where they were located and that could be viewed by anyone who had access to the user's email (by permission of course).... i think its only a matter of time that we'll see it.. but will it survive if it emerges???

until then i will just have to do the email and phone tag trick and try to corner them the old-fashioned way (8)
