hey sean, when I saw PlaceSite this morning I thought of you. Shouldn’t be surprised that you’re involved
When you were in Seattle you were talking about people being very leary of sharing their info when it was tied to physical location, what’s changed?
Hi Kellan!
A lot of the assumptions that I brought to Seattle changed based on what I learned there, particularly from the results of our Seattle wi-fi survey.
[Will post details here after the San Francisco wi-fi survey is over.]

Sean —
Best of luck on the PlaceSite project! It looks fascinating. Perhaps it’s too early to think about where this might go next, but I just finished up a post here:

I live in Spokane, Wash., which isn’t huge as urban centers go, but we’ve got a free wireless network called the HotZone, which covers 100 blocks of downtown. I can think of all sorts of interesting possibilities that something like PlaceSite would open up if it covered a larger commercial (and to some extent, residential) district like this.
Cool Sean, good luck. Looking forward to trying it out when I get back to the States.
The placesite site seems to be down now.
