Why Traveloggia?

1. The original idea evolved while preparing for a trip to Italy last year,
and also while organizing photos afterwards, trying to remember what they were of.
I did alot of research and wanted a map of the places I had decided to visit, with maybe a blurb including the exact address or phone number and a thumbnail.
Most of what I wanted to do was possible with google maps, but it was incredibly awkward to use.

2. Windows phone 7 appeared and now there is a programming api I can use to geotag my photos.  If I dont quite remember what I photographed, I can match it up to the map and see.

3. Its a demo. Past clients include the US Navy and the NYC Dept of Transportation, however there is nothing publicly available to prospective employers and recruiters. 

4. Technology evangelism.   Silverlight4, Bing Maps, Azure/S3 storage, Windows Phone 7 for starters… much more is planned.

5. Proof of concept.  Just maybe, someone else might find the application useful and be interested in developing it as a product.  It could be used by real estate agents for example.
