Plazes is getting a lot of attention from the social networking galaxy - specifically Tim O'Reilly's campus (reported by Wired) - and full plaudits to Julian Bond on whose site I first noticed it a few weeks back (he was on it months ago!)
6 months on from that, there's signs of momentum building...and there's a number of things going on here under the hood - and it's producing an interesting mix:
- geotagging to place folk on the ground
- local information resource from the folk on the ground
- social networking through transparency
All part of the web's shift from 'on screen' to 'real life'
