I’ve been playing with Pinwheel this week, and it promises to be very interesting. The premise is that users leave digital notes relative to locations through a web interface (for now; mobile options are in the works) — then other users, in turn, can find these notes and benefit from their colleagues’ wisdom, or nostalgia, or photographic capabilities, or knowledge of history, or poetry, or whatever else. I’ve been concentrating on leaving notes in Glasgow’s West End, but I’ve dropped some in places I’ve lived before.
I invited a few people who have so far left (count ’em) zero notes among them, no doubt for good and important reasons. If I get more invites, I’ll pass them along to interested friends, but please do actually use the service if you enlist.
