hey sean, when I saw PlaceSite this morning I thought of you. Shouldn't be surprised that you're involved :)

When you were in Seattle you were talking about people being very leary of sharing their info when it was tied to physical location, what's changed?

Hi Kellan!

A lot of the assumptions that I brought to Seattle changed based on what I learned there, particularly from the results of our Seattle wi-fi survey.

[Will post details here after the San Francisco wi-fi survey is over.]

Sean --

Best of luck on the PlaceSite project! It looks fascinating. Perhaps it's too early to think about where this might go next, but I just finished up a post here:

I live in Spokane, Wash., which isn't huge as urban centers go, but we've got a free wireless network called the HotZone, which covers 100 blocks of downtown. I can think of all sorts of interesting possibilities that something like PlaceSite would open up if it covered a larger commercial (and to some extent, residential) district like this.

Cool Sean, good luck. Looking forward to trying it out when I get back to the States.
