Nashville Tech Story (3/9/10)
A new company is being launched at SXSW this week and it promises to help us locate, label, and share everyday objects. The company is called StickyBits (http://www.stickybits.com) and it works by peeling a sticker, placing it on an object you want to track, scanning the code, and then uploading a video, a photo, a voice message or a text message.
“Every place and object in the world has a secret past: who lived there, who passed by, who touched it. The secret lives of objects are filled with such details. If only you could make them talk.”
This seems to be a pretty interesting location based service (LBS) and probably only the first of several new apps that will be launched this week at SXSW as we move into Web 3.0 – The Semantic Web. If you aren’t paying attention to the location and heuristics focus of investors, then you are about to miss another whole wave of the Internet that will make Social Media look like child’s play.
