Foundcity

Foundcity is a social mapping tool for creating a personalized map of your life on-the-fly. Using your mobile phone, you "tag" or capture photos throughout the day, label them with any words you want, and send them to your map. At home, you access and customize your map, which you can share with friends, keep private, or publish openly.

As a visitor to the Foundcity site, you view a map of all tags and connect with the people and places that share your interests. By plugging in to the network of Foundcity users, you learn what others value in the city as you surf their hotspots. By publishing your own tags, you share what you know about your city.

I didn't go into the details, but it looks interesting.

From Christian Lindholm's blog (February 26, 2005)

What they then managed to solve was a major UI innovation how to retain number dialling yet still enable search. It was this little innovation that struck me as brilliant. I know it is a dinky thing, but the devil is in the detail in UI. Another thing I really liked was the way they brought in internet via bookmarks. I need to play with it a bit more, but it will allow you to extend searches to the internet.
