There's No PlaceCalled 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

Geography, old and new

The Firefighter's questions:

- Where's The Fire?

- How do I get there?

- What kind of place am I going to find?

Where's the fire?

How do I get there?

What kind of place is it?

Review, comment...

The Long Tail

Interact with other tools:

• Twitter (and clones)• Upcoming• Popfly• etc

The road ahead

Display other imagery:

• Mapstraction: Yahoo Maps, MS Virtual Earth, OpenStreetMap

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...
