Delocator.Mapyourcity.Net

2006

a project by

Beatriz da Costa & Xtine Hanson

Delocator.Mapyourcity.Net provides participants with corporate-alternatives to cafes, bookstores and movie theatres; and celebrates the diversity that exists within the culture of independent businesses across the United States. Delocator.MapYourCity.net enables participants to strategically avoid corporate chains that dominate market niches where culture and consumption most frequently intersect.

Delocator.MapYourCity.Net replaces the original Delocator.Net web service. Delocator.net initially launched on April 1, 2005. By September 2005, over 5000 entries had been posted to the Delocator.net database, and over two million users had viewed the web site. Over a thousand emails from participants across the country were emailed to Delocator.net. The most common complaints were the inability to edit the results page, and the fixed distance of the search radius. Delocator.MapYourCity.net addresses these concerns and adds a few additional features.
