Journey: Virtual World Built on Real World

Yahoo

TechCrunch describes it this way: "Journeys, a mashup that hopes to appeal to these users by leveraging Flickr and Yahoo Maps APIs to create what it calls a “virtual world based on real Earth”." The problem is there seems to be no point to it, though to be fair it is labeled "alpha." Your avatar can travel and see the world (with limited info about some points of interest), but the commenters found it dull and computer intensive.
