It may come from Taiwan, but AtlasPost’s aims are worldwide. Most social networking sites focus on you—your likes, needs, wants, your state of affairs.
AtlasPost wants to shift the focus from just you per say, to you and your neighborhood. It’s networking on a map rather than a text-based platform. AtlasPost utilizes GoogleMaps for its purposes. Start out by personalizing your neighborhood with the Atlas Village feature. You can purchase all sorts of creative tokens to decorate your territory : cute kitties, penguins, castles, trees, stores etc. The second nifty feature is the geo-photo tool. This allows you to see who’s posting photos and where they are. With the photo album feature you can add photos and tag them from where they were taken. You can also add blog posts and videos to your map. Find others in your neighborhood, or hook up with friend around the world. It’s a small world afterall.
