Suggestions for AOL’s New “Where it’s At” Site

WhereItsAt.Com is a mapping site that pinpoints pop culture locations - like the hospital from Gray’s Anatomy or the high school from Napoleon Dynomite. The tag is “Pop culture is all around you.” It’s powered by MapQuest.

Suggestions:

- The title suggests to me a “things to do” site, despite the tag line. That said, there is a box to search for nightlife… That’s confusing!
- The site offers an RSS feed. Why not a GeoRSS feed or KML or anything with location in it?
- Rethink the Visa sponsorship ads - one is a “roll over to find your nearest Starbucks ad” powered by Google Maps!
