WonderWalker is a tool for forming a collaborative map of web sites. Anyone can participate by dragging a button to their browser's toolbar. To add a site, users draw an icon representing the item, write a short description of why they collected the item, choose a spot in the shared space for the icon, and tag it with their name. The WonderWalker interface can then be used to browse the icons, organizing them by location, creator, or the time they were created (see screenshot). WonderWalker is modelled after Wunderkammer ("cabinet of wonders") collections of the 17th century, and is conceived as a phantasmagoria of web objects, whose reason for placement in the collection is dependent on an independent eye. For more background on the idea, see this interview with WonderWalker's developers on Mappa Mundi,
