For that reason, instead of commenting on the wonderful design smile I’ll focus on highlighting some of my favorite UI features. The front page has a row of AJAX powered tabs to let you view popular, recently uploaded and example maps inline, and a great live search. I find the explore page one of the most fascinating aspects to the site. The tags at the top of the page are community generated and allow you to view maps worldwide by interest. I also love the new zoom feature that allows you to zoom in on a map by clicking on it and zoom out by right clicking. These are just a few of the intuitive user interface features found on CommunityWalk. After you view the demo I would like to invite you to visit the CommunityWalk website and give it a try.

Their original signup page had a prominent distressed logo which I found very refreshing. They kept the logo, however the distressing is less prominent. The user experience is smooth, intuitive and fun. By far, the feature that sets flagr apart from the pack is the mobile connectivity. A very useful feature that I will use often.
