Plazes is a grassroot approach to location-aware interaction, using the local network you are connected to as location reference. Plazes allows you to share you location with the people you know and to discover people and plazes around you. It’s the navigation system for your social life and it’s absolutely free.

...and I’ve now installed a Plazes Launcher on my workstation and on my ibook… So, from now on (and if I feel like it), you can track my whereabouts…

    Dude, your home is supposedly in the middle of Groningen City-center…

  2. mark @ 30 October 2005, 14:41 :
    well, I feel at home just about anywhere :-)

    anyways, it was a mistake… ;-) I removed my address, but by doing so, it also resetted the geo-info to Groningen City-Center…

    I mean, I don’t mind this tracking-feature, but people who know me, will know my address, that’s all

    Yup, maybe it would be a nice add-on if you could have your trazes only visible to friends. Right now, every Plazes-user can track my whereabouts…

As mentioned in the Message from Mark's family this site has been made static. This means that it will be no longer possible to comment on his ideas and projects, but that we all can continue to cherish his creativity.
