Location-based annotation
A location-based annotation that indicates when water overflowed that street in paris. Interesting marker of the past (from 1910) that aims at reminding a different state of the environment. That’s the sort of Holy Grail for mobile phone service developers… who try to promote a digital equivalent to this. Where are we in 2008 wrt to this sort of system?

I’m a bit uncomfortable doing this, since it’s sort of my project, but this is exactly the sort of thing that could be pretty easily built with Fire Eagle. Might not be quite perfectly accurate, but wouldn’t be bad.

A timely question - any possible answer to which might be colored by the information that Kevin and I routinely refuse to grant spatial-annotation projects a hearing, unless they somehow articulate a convincing argument as to why a user would want to troll the aggregated annotations.
