Location-based Tagged Moblogging Personal Networking
No, it’s not an April’s Fool joke… its Rabble:
Create your channel and post location-based media - your favorite places, photos or an up-to-the-minute newsworthy event. It’s like putting virtual sticky notes on the world around you. Then connect with your world. Tell Rabble where you are and it will show you who is around you and the media they have created. Through bits of location-tagged media, find and interact with other people and get information you won’t find in the yellow pages. Part blogging, part location-based personal networking, Rabble connects you with the world in a unique and intuitive way by turning “users” into “producers” and creating a marketplace for mobile user-generated content.
Whoa!
First thing to come to my mind was Jon Udell’s Annotating The Planet post & screencast.
Related as well are the earlier posts here of Hypersurfaces and the Node Explorer spatial annotation device.
