Hey all,
My company just launched a free public beta for a Location Based
application called TagandScan. TagandScan is a service for your
mobile phone that enables you to mark real physical locations with an
electronic tag. Tags automatically contain the time and location
where and when the tag was made. They also can contain a title,
description, and a photo.
People use our service for a number of purposes:
1. Community development. We enable our members to tag locations and
to store those tags in public grids that everyone can scan. Public
grids range
from events and reviews to online art galleries to history. After a
while, we hope locations will build up layers upon layers of
interesting and useful information.
2. Spatial Memory. In big cities people find interesting places and
then try to find them later with no success. With TagandScan you can
tag it and forget it. TagandScan remembers for you.
3. Public expression. Graffiti is illegal. Digital Graffiti isn't.
People can tag public places with their opinions or just to
commemorate a personal event.
We really need some tech-savvy mobile users to play with the
application for a while. All you need is a Java enabled phone and to
use T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2, or Orange in the UK. To sign up, go to
www.tagandscan.com. Happy Tagging!
