Super-localised communities

January 30th, 2006

I found this on techcrunch talking about the E27 summit

Place site add their software to a standard wifi router and distribute them to cafés, events, etc. The result is a portal that all users of the network see that shows them current users of the network, allows instant messaging, etc. Their idea is to build more online community in these real world settings.

Placesite is up and running at one location now – Cafe Couleur in San Francisco (16th and De Haro). The revenue model is super-local advertising, customized versions for venues (this is great for conferences), and permission based licensing of user data.

    Combining localization and mobility sounds a lot like what this company is trying to accomplish.
