Hello guys,

[Places2Go.org](http://Places2Go.org): is a new site i have just released, still in beta.

It allows you to store your favorite places in your home town  
or anywhere in the world. The initial idea was to do something like  
delicious but for physical places.

You add places you like and want to eventually go back some day. Also  
as locations, can be defined as private or public (being public the  
default), other people can search them and store them in their own  
list of favorite places.

To add a new place you start by clicking in a spot in a google map. A  
find bar on top of the map allows you to go to a specific city easily.

To each place you can: categorize with tags, add an address, add  
photos and add comments.

When searching you can filter by: country, city and tags.

Technically, the site is built on Rails and i try to use AJAX as much  
as  
possible to make it as simple to use as possible.

I’m not a designer, so that was probably the most difficult part to me  
when building this site (i tried to keep it simple) but its still the  
part a like less. I’m more happy with the functional part i got done.

As i said at the beginning, the site is still on beta, so please take  
a look at it and i would very much appreciate any comments you may  
have, including if you find it could be useful or not.

I’m attaching a few screenshots.
