Google Mapping Threadless Users!

I found myself very surprised at how widespread the users of threadless seem to be throughout the world, so thought it might be interesting to get people to "map" themselves (generically that is, we don't need any stalkers) collaboratively to generate a map showing what parts of the world are most populated with the creative tee shirt creating types...

So I created this GOOGLE MAP for people to bookmark the city they live in.

The map is open to all, so feel free to pass it around.

And as a general rule of thumb, if you're going to participate, I think it would be VERY wise to just place your marker in a generic location (like the middle of a city) as opposed to a location near your home, to stay away from any weirdos.

Does the link work? I've never made a collaborative map before...

kashlen on Jun 22 '09 at 4:33pm

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 4:34pm

I remember awhile ago there was this thing I don't know how many people on there are still around or anything.

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 4:38pm

ahh, i didn't even think about doing a search before creating it.

Steve The Great on Jun 22 '09 at 4:39pm

I doubt it would show up on a search unless you were reeeeally good at searching. It was a long time ago.

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 4:41pm

oh okay, i'm certainly not very good with searches...

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 4:45pm

Also, FYI, when you're posting your location, you can also add HTML, so feel free to post your avatar that you use on threadless (or anything else for that matter I suppose).

kashlen on Jun 22 '09 at 4:48pm

yay google! I added me on there... :)

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 6:13pm

Keep them coming...

how do i add myself to the map?

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 6:18pm

Someone else will have to take this one cause it's different if you don't create the map to begin with... anyone?

Kookaberry on Jun 22 '09 at 6:20pm

I feel really dumb cause I cannot figure out how to add my little dot.

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 6:23pm

I feel dumb too cause I created it and can't even figure it out...

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 6:30pm

Okay, not sure this is the "easy way", but, here is a solution.

First, add the threadless map to "My Maps"

Second, type in your city so that the map zooms to where you are, then from there, select the pin that shows up, then change the info to what you want it to say and select "Save to My Maps"

Select "Threadless Users" and OK and it should show up.

pmolick on Jun 22 '09 at 6:37pm

hmmm... my directions may not be right, someone in Alexandria, VA just added themselves and it gave the default city info and picture... anyone else who posted got any tips?

YtFeLMi on Jun 22 '09 at 6:48pm

It was fairly simple when I did it..

Sign in to Google, and you should be able to edit the map.

On the left hand side, under my maps, there is an EDIT button.

Click that, and three little icons will appear on the map.

(a hand, a pin, and a line tool)

Click the pin, and make your mark! :]
