Map Monday: Hook-Up Maps
Interested in finding someone in your neighborhood looking hook up? Maybe you’re the more romantic type and want someone to share a crisp autumn evening with. Maybe you just can’t stand seeing movies alone. Hey, I’m not judging.
Hookupmaps is a new Google Maps mashup that combines a familiar and easy to use mapping interface with the Craigslist personals section. Unlike most mashups which just add mapping to an existing feature set, hookupmaps actually makes it easier to respond to ads with a built-in response form that kicks the hell out of the arcane Craigslist UI.
Not sold on trolling the ‘net for a date? Read this environmental plea from Slate.com on the latest green trend, locasexuality.
Previously featured on Duenos:
- Man Test, Inc – An introduction to the business of “honey trapping,” in which wives and girlfriends hire someone to test their partner’s fidelity.
- m4intern – An amazing blog put together by a DC resident to showcase the best Craigslist personal ads specifically targeting the intern population. These can be very scummy.
- Map Monday Tracking Troublemakers – Another novel use of maps, although the motivations are perhaps more pure here, the giggles are sadly absent.

This is hilarious. Unfortunately, it looks as though they’re still working on mapping many areas, but the main urban locations seem to have been covered.
