Hey guys, we've seen similar ideas coming out recently so we wanted to get our work out there and try to validate the idea.

What we've created is a way to let people leave messages at any latitude/longitude point for anyone else to read (so not just venues.). There are a lot of potential uses for this: i.e. meeting your neighbors, self-guided walking tours, missed connections, local classifieds, lost dogs etc... We've made it optionally anonymous and pretty open in terms of use. We're not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but want to see how it evolves.

Right now you probably have to pan over to SF to see it in use, but it's open for use anywhere.

We'd love your thoughts.

it allows you to reach people who aren't your facebook/twitter friends - cool!

Definitely. One reason why we created it was that even though Facebook and twitter can add location to posts, no one really uses it in the proper mindset. On facebook, you're constrained to your social graph. You can't try and seek out neighbors who live across the street that easily on FB or Twitter, but here it would be really simple to do.
