I could so see people with a GPS recording where they've been through out the day and syncing it to an xml file which their webpage reads and plots with a google map. Furthermore, they could have info windows for each place they've been saying what they did there.
Or, I could see people setting up image galleries for their vacations based on their tour route. Hell, this could be fairly automated with a camera that has a built-in GPS. Like this

And something like what I described is already done. Of course the interface still leaves a bit to be desired... For one thing, open pictures up in a new window or pop-up so I don't have to reload the damn page when I hit 'back'

Your power is: Clairvoyance
Explanation: Your power is that you can look into the future and see what is coming. How far and long you can look is all depending on your skill level. This can, as all powers, be used in both evil and good. Even if it may seem like a boring ability it is a huge responsibility for the carrier, becase they are constantly tempted with doing the wrongs deeds (e.g. cheat on a test). It takes high morals to not be brought down with it.
Therefor you fit with this power quite well. You take responsibility and do what is the right thing to do. This does not make you a saint, since you're only human after all. But it makes a trustworthy person and you are loyal to camrades and/or team mates. In school you were probably a good student. If you were social varies from person to person, but most clairvoyant people tend to prefer their own company or that of close friends and family. That is because you are wise and knows how to treasure the reliable in your life, since you know popularity can be a false element. You are also not that big on taking risks and prefer what is already explored. That is because you don't like suprises, they can turn out bad and then you won't be in control.
Negative aspects: Since you're always doing the right thing and being trustworthy all the time you can become frustrated. Also, all that you carry on your shoulders may stress you out. You need to relax to be in good mental shape.
