Ignite talk about Tagzania in Where 2.0 2007

Tagzania There's No Place Called Nowhere Luistxo Fernandez

Tagzania is a very simple mashup A del.icio.us for places Instead of URLs, you tag real-world locations www.tagzania.com/tag/where2007

Our own location: the periphery

We’re, hmmm, Basque

CodeSyntax We're a small normal web dev company Customers believe we "design web pages" Work with free software (Python, Zope)

CodeSyntax We're earning a living, not getting rich Tagzania's a side project, a passion An experiment if you will Global traffic, metrics, competition...

Competition

Not too many expenses. Mashups and projects for bigger partners Business model

Tagzania on its own is worth an extra little push Thinking about the tagline - Tagging the planet “ Your personal geography” Not so much neogeography

The Firefighter's questions: - Where's The Fire? - How do I get there? - What kind of place am I going to find? Geography, old and new

Where's the fire?

How do I get there?

Review, comment... What kind of place is it?

The Long Tail

Interact with other tools:
Twitter (and clones)
Upcoming

etc
The road ahead

Display other imagery:

The road ahead

- Far in the periphery, lost in the long tail of the geographic web... - Open to everyone - A partner with a global viewpoint, not married to anyone in particular, a virgin state...
