Mapness, a web startup for sharing your travels and a journey planner, comes us from the relation Poland - UK. Three distributed developers have been working on it since August this year, and are close to the Beta phase hoping to switch to open
Beta in next week or so.Paul Graham said many times - find an idea that works, and make it better; Well, these three World travelers (Wojtek, Mike, and Tom) did just that. They took the already existing idea about mapping your travels, and are working on making it better. According to Wojtek, their main advantage will be the larger span of features they offer.
They've been very disciplined writing a blog, in contrary to the fact that many startups are not very eager in keeping it up-to-date. I found this post really amusing:

This ain't no Sparta! This is Mapness!
The brave 300?th revision, committed by King LeoMichelous, stood proudly against the army of Know Bugs giving the message to the world, that our service just entered the Alpha stage of Development!
Tonight we dine caffeine.

So... go ahead, sign up for their private beta test, I am sure it will be a lot of fun, and if you are a Polish speaker you will probably enjoy reviewing their Himalaya journey!
