Welcome to the Annotated Earth. We're currently in a early beta of the
site and the technology. If you'd like to be a beta tester,
let us know.
AnnotatedEarth.com provides a architecture to enable location-aware
technology. Location-aware technology allows a computer based device to
figure out what's around it. Usually "around" translates to "what's
directly around me, right now". As you move, the various things
(buildings, places, et al) change - and location-aware technology allows
computers to know about that change. You can think of any given area
(say, a town) to be a mass of location information, or annotations.
Buildings, streets, restaurants, houses, stores, interesting art work, a spot
to meet your friends every Monday, just about
anything. AnnotatedEarth enables any computer device (laptops, cell
phones, and PDA's, to name a few) to understand where you are and what's
around you.
