As a much more personal version of other Google Maps projects we've come across it's the kind of intimate look into someone else's private history that we don't often get the chance to experience, and we even found ourselves getting a little misty driving around those DC suburbs with Igor ourselves. (Not to mention a little jealous—why didn't we have a Topless Polaroid Forest in our neighborhood when we were growing up?)

When we recently mentioned the UK dogging sensation, we lamented that there wasn't a similar wave of organized public sex in the U.S. Obviously, people over here get it on in public all the time; it's just that no one has given it cool slangy nickname and based a social networking site around it (or at least one that we know of.) However, w've been tipped off to one effort to bring a little Web 2.0 flavor to exhibitionism in America: In Plain Sight is a Google Maps tool where people can mark off the best places to engage in a little lewd misconduct. Visitors are invited to post a story and mark the location of their encounter on the map. The site is actually the creation of a publisher of sex-help books, so who knows if any of these stories are genuine (the locations so far are pretty vague), but we like the idea of building an online database of suitable sexual venues. Perhaps it will become the next big viral internet craze and soon everyone will be dogging it American-style ... or it's just a lame marketing gimmick that's wasting everyone's time. These days it's hard to tell the difference.
