No thanks. Spurs fan from the Philippines.
...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!
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.

eh, I ed it up
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.
I ed 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?
Added it twice, said it was successful but doesn't show up when I refresh
Same with me
same here
Same here as well...
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.
So you guys whose map points didn't show up must have been past the first 8.
Here's what we got out of it:
So a map of 8 Spurs fans (9 including me), not exactly what I was going for.
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 out of whoever ends up being their Finals opponent.
Nice idea!
Is there one out there that is free?
lol ho chi minh
Maybe someone can find something here:

Don't have the time now...
and i wouldnt recommend putting your home address....
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.
great idea. epic failure
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....
8 people! Going strong!

Cool idea.
Story of my life.great idea. epic failure

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.
spurs fan from the Philippines! spurs represent!
