Thingster is an open-source weblogging service for locative media. It's also the backend for BooksWeLike, which describes itself as "activist e-commerce" and is sponsored (partially) by AlterNet. It's part of a movement for social sharing services, which seems to be an extension of what was previously discussed here.

I'm not sure this is working as designed. I can't seem to get anywhere but a blank screen with a "submit" button.

I was prompted to update my Adobe SVG viewer. That got the map working.

Hmm. The distribution is TBD, so I guess testing it out is not yet an option ...
