Hi all,
My company's LBS service TagandScan launched a free public beta today. TagandScan is a service for your mobile phone that enables your phone to mark real physical locations with an electronic tag.

All you need is a Java enabled phone. To sign up, just go to http://www.tagandscan.com. Happy tagging!

Cordially,
Ryan

I guess it's a bit like the Wireless Villages standard... This sounds cool! This message was posted from a T300

I think the uses fall into a couple of categories:

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. I live in NYC and I'm always seeing cool places and then trying to find them later with no success. I could be a block away and not know it. Now I can just tag the place.

3. Public expression. Graffiti is illegal. Digital Graffiti isn't. You can tag public places with political messages or just to commemorate a personal event.

I still have all the code, but it's not active as a service anymore. It was just a little early for the market.
