Public Authoring in the Wireless City

…The Urban Tapestries software platform allows people to author their own virtual annotations of the city, enabling a community’s collective memory to grow organically, allowing ordinary citizens to embed social knowledge in the new wireless landscape of the city. People can add new locations, location content and the ‘threads’ which link individual locations to local contexts, which are accessed via handheld devices such as PDAs and mobile phones…

In October 2004 we released RSS Feeds for the system allowing people to subscribe to content created by individual authors, threads, as well as to create their own custom feed within a radius (100m, 500m, 1km or 5km) or a geographic place of their choosing (within the area covered by our trials).
