Spurs fans of the world unite!!!

...to place a pin on a map.

Ok so it's not uber exciting, but I notice posts all over the place on ST from people mentioning far flung locations of Spurs' fandom. Well, this is my contribution to helping us collectively ameliorate the madness of this too long wait for the Finals. I set up a crowdsourcing map on the well regarded site imapbuilder; follow the link at the bottom of the page, click the "add a location" link, if it's your thing you can connect via the typical social networking sites, otherwise just enter your own or a fake name and email address, and add your location and a pithy message if you want. I know there ST has a quite impressive international base of Spurs fans, and I think it would be the very definition of neat-o to be able to see just how much of the globe we cover. Do it! :tu


A note about why I had to butcher this link. For some reason the ST forum software kept abbreviating this link in such a way that it broke the link. View the following as a single link, and copy and paste each section in your browser window. Sorry for the additional step.

Dude, you don't have to put in any personally identifying information. But if you can't be bother to take 2 seconds to place an anonymous pin in a map over a city, more power to you.

[DOS CHAINZ]

I fucked up too. I moved my pin location a little much to the right. Should be Austin not Del Valle.:(

Thanks capek. I like the idea. For some reason the link is not working for me, even though it seems to have worked for others. Do I need to create an account before I can follow the link?

:lmao Sorry guys, this was an epic fail! I thought I'd researched this site as a good option, but when I looked deeper, it seems the free version only allows 8 map points. :rolleyes

So you guys whose map points didn't show up must have been past the first 8. :depressed

Here's what we got out of it:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/capek/spursmap_zps0b9e51f3.jpg

So a map of 8 Spurs fans (9 including me), not exactly what I was going for. :lol

So let this thread die the ignoble death it deserves, and I'll do a little more research to see if there's actually a service that easily allows this kind of crowdsourced mapping service, because I do think it would be cool for all of us to know where we're all rooting from as we watch the Spurs kick the shit out of whoever ends up being their Finals opponent. :ihit :tu

[TrueSpursFan]

Nice idea!
Is there one out there that is free?

[The Reckoning]

lol ho chi minh :lol

[FlAVaK]

Maybe someone can find something here:

Don't have the time now...

[The Reckoning]

and i wouldnt recommend putting your home address....

how do you place anonymous pin. it asks for info

[capek]

how do you place anonymous pin. it asks for info

Well it's moot now since the free account only allows for 8 map points, but there was no problem putting in a fake name/email, and then leaving the address blank.

[hater]

great idea. epic failure :lol


I've worked with google maps. I'll make a note of this thread and if I have a few minutes I coudl come up with something... not promising anything....

Story of my life. :depressed

:lol

Of course, if anyone wants to take it up be my guest, I'll get on it now that I'm back from a meeting, but have a bunch of work to catch up on. Though it's not like we don't have DAYS available, so no huge rush I guess.

[efrem1]

Returning to the board after a three-year hiatus. Family and work have taken a lot of my time since then. Let's win Number Five!!

[carina_gino20]

You can use Google map and make it available for collaboration so others can add in their locations.

[cutewizard]

No thanks. Spurs fan from the Philippines.



Mabuhay!!!

[Budkin]

:lol 8 people!

Great idea though!

[bulakenyo]

Mabuhay!!!

Salamat po. Thank you, ma'am. :toast

[SpurSpurSpurs]

Didn't know there are a lot of Filipino Spurs fans. Most are either Lakers or Heat bandwagons, IIRC.
Pang 5 kampeonato! LABAN SPURS!
