Social Map Portal

I wish to transform loppee.com into a social mapping portal. Here are some of the use cases I'm thinking about:

1. Private / Closed-group map clusters
- Family and relatives share their locations
- Students/Alumni of a school share their location on map
- A community sharing the location of its members
- A personal map where I mark all the places I visit, I liked, or wish to go, location of people I work with, location of people who work for me

2. Privately-owned publicly-viewable map clusters
- A retail shop sharing the shop locations on map.
- A bank sharing the location of its branches and ATM.
- A public transport service sharing the location of their stoppage and timing

3. Public map markers (this feature is available in Loppee.com)
- Individuals publish their positions on map for a social cause. For example - blood donors, helpers, volunteers, etc.

Dear Readers, please let me know your thoughts about this.
