#Joiito MemberMap is a nice web application showing locations of people on the IRC channel.

It is an instance of GuestMap Service - a Google Maps hack that allows people to put pins on the map to show their location and to leave a message (only once though) on a bulletin board. You can also export pin locations to Google Earth.

P.S. It is very simple and therefore very nice.

The only other thing to wish for would be for users to be able to move or remove the pins they've attached. That'd make it a great application to show where people currently are (e.g., when on travel). Currently only administrator, who has created the GuestMap, can remove pins.

Thanks to dantegeek for the #Joiito MemberMap.
