An example of this is how the Eastern Ontario Freecycling Group that has made extensive use of CommunityWalk's functionality by plotting the locations of their member groups. The info-balloons feature info about the group and link to the associated Yahoo! Group. Based on this being the top CommunityWalk "community" with over 8000 visits, it's clear that people are making use of this.
Meanwhile LiveJournal user Swamysk has used CommunityWalk to create a ">map of historic sites and places of interest in India.
It should be an interesting place to check out in a few months. I suspect many of the self created mashups that I'll be checking out and talking about here on Google Maps Mania will originate here.

Mike,
Just as a bit of clarification, CommunityWalk not has over 100 communities (although some were just for testing purposes). I just want to point this out because it means that there are a number of communities that people are using privately to plan trips, coordinate team efforts, etc. CommunityWalk will allow you to make the community completely private so that just you can see it, or you can just not make it public so that it is simply hard to find. In the future I will be adding in collaborative features that will let you invite only certain people to the community. Just wanted to point this out as another great way to use CommnunityWalk.
