“We want everyone to share their neighborhoods,” Max Sklar, Chief Technical Officer, said. “Stickymap.com allows users to inform others about their communities.”

“I wanted to get a sense of my friend’s neighborhood before visiting him in New York,” Daniel Wiznia, Chief Strategy Officer, said. “I searched on Stickymap.com and I was able to learn a little about the community.”

Stickymap.com uses Google’s map technology and a wiki interface to allow users to post and edit markers.
