Front End Designer/Developer wanted for map-based social network

[marcopolo]

I am one of the founders at MarcoPolo.net. We are currently looking to collaborate with a front end developer with an eye for great design. You would define the visual identity for the site and build cool, innovative UI components using semantic HTML, CSS, and javascript. Flash and AJAX experience is a big plus.

MarcoPolo.net is a map based social network in the niches of social presence and location-based content. If you are passionate about travel, mobility, online maps, social networks, or location-based services, this will be of interest to you.

This is a part-time freelance position. The ideal candidate will have a salaried "day" job or be in school and available to work for deferred compensation and/or stock options. We are based in NYC but you can work from anywhere.

Check out our site at www.marcopolo.net and I look forward to hearing from you. The quickest way to reach me is at jobs (at) marcopolo.net.

so is this a social network that will show users where you live on a map?

the beta site is live now. it plots the locations of a user's network based on each individual's travel calendar. you can see where your friends have been, where they are now, and where they will be in the future. we also notify you of future crossovers so that if you're going somewhere, we'll tell you who else will be there when you are. it's different from most social networks in that it shares your information only with the people you put in your network, i.e. strangers can't see where you are.
