System for Tagging Messages, Post-Inferential Semantics
August 10th, 2005

STAMPS is a little program that allows you to see a map of the place where you are, visualised on the screen of your mobile. There, you can write a kind of SMS and attach it to the map so that other friends can see your message appearing on their map.

You can write: “this is my favorite pizzeria!”, as a piece of advice to your buddies. The messages left in the system say something about the city where you live: what are the sport locations, the place to eat, the meeting spots. After a while, all this information could help users navigate the city. You can ask the system, for instance: “where is a pizzeria near by?”, and the system will search for other people’s messages which refer to the term pizzeria to give you an advice.

Full featured prototype is due by the end of this month.
