I’m in the Mobile Plazer Closed Beta

After thinking about it for so long (and adding to my good karma by helping it along), the mobile version of Plazer is now in beta.

Plazer is a little app for the phone (and an original version for the PC) that helps you tag a location in the Plazes service. From the PC, the location is captured via the network information (wireless or wired). From the mobile, the location is captured via the cellID.

I think Plazes is nifty on the PC. But to me, it is really promising on the mobile (please, I’ve only had it less than an hour). As you can imagine, the real fun happens when you can build upon the location info: find folks, find access points, find out about the area, tag photos, initiate communication, and so on.

Let’s see how it evolves. I might have to contact them to see how Plazes has been doing.
