PlaceSite @ A Cuppa Tea

SIMS

A Joe G notes ("PlaceSite"):

Some graduate students at Berkeley are doing this very cool location-based social software project. When a user connects to the wireless network at a participating cafe, they are presented with a captive portal page which allows them to connect with others who are physically in the cafe with them.

These graduate students would be Sean Savage and Jon Snydal of SIMS and Damon McCormick, an undergrad. in Berkeley CS.

If you find yourself near College and Alcatraz (3202 College Ave.) in Berkeley, stop by and check it out... and don't forget to try the chocolatines (pain au chocolat) from La Farine a few doors down.
