Where to Tango in Italy

One of the well-documented pleasures of building a web service is its unexpected uses. You never know who's going to find your site, and you never know how they're going to use it.

One of our favorite recent surprises is the popularity of Atlas on the Italian tango site Tanghéri. The folks in charge of this site published a map of places to Tango. (I don't speak Italian, so I'm guessing they're places to Tango.) They opened the map up for users to contribute, and have been getting a consistent stream of contributions for the past few weeks. Here's what it looks like:



If you're thinking about experimenting with the user contributions feature, this is a great site to check out -- even if you can't speak Italian.
