I was contacted by WeePlaces today about their new FourSquare Historical Visualization Platform which does exactly what Fred Wilson was looking for when he tried to visualize his recent European trip (wonder if there is a connection?).

Above – Fred Wilson’s travels around London last month.

It was kinda nice to go back in time and see my own London / Torquay / Bath / Exeter trip a few months ago.

. …. and StoneHenge – which was in the middle to the countryside

Having said that – most of the venue pages on Weeplaces do not appear to have much information, and what information there is only appears on some of the more popular venues, but not yet on the rest  – WeePlaces does one thing well – it charts the historical locations and sequences of any FourSquare account – but right now, it stops short of doing anything else.

That’s not to say that what is present in the platform isn’t value – it is – I’m actually thinking it’s more like the beginnings of  a much fuller experience (ie: if Weeplaces were to pull in other people who checked in around the same times I was in a location – or pulled in pictures of the locations and photos off of Flickr and videos off of YouTube related to the locations) it would improve the platform vastly).

On the other hand, for all we know, WeePlaces was created very quickly, perhaps in a few weeks – and is amazing in that it does this one thing, visualizing a users history, well.

And when you get tired of looking at the stops you visited but still want to replay your FourSquare check in history – you can just hit the replay button and see it play for you all over again.
