Have you ever talked to someone, anywhere in the world and gotten curious about where this person is ?? Where you had to find his or her location yourself by hand before, now there's troovy. Troovy has already done the "google maps" bit for you.

troovy connects you to the world around you by inviting people around the globe to become urban anthropologists, travel writers and even citizen journalists.

Interesting, as it looks like troovy aims to be more than just another social network. They are apparetly looking for local news and stories to go with the map. This could be a big hit, if they build up their community well. I'm in favor !
