[wsfii-discuss] P2P and Wireless Systems

Tue Feb 13 21:23:03 UTC 2007

Folks might be interested to know that the Beta for ((Echo))MyPlace is now
available as a free download at www.echomyplace.com.

((Echo))MyPlace is a new peer-to-peer (P2P) application that lets you share
location-based content about your neighborhood and connect directly with
friends and neighbors.

With ((Echo))MyPlace you can instantly share geosocial notes, digital photos
and maps with others through your own distributed network. There's no server
or web-site involved, the connected computers is all it takes!  

You can work on the internet or form your own ad hoc network with
((Echo))MyPlace.

The goal of this beta release of ((Echo))MyPlace is to start exercising the
democratic P2P network and get some feedback on how things are working - and
we need your help.

Best Regards,
Jeff

Jeff et al,

I can’t speak for other organizations but our policy at The Carbon Project
is to promote democratic access to location and user-generated content.  You
can say what you want about trends in homeland security, but I think one of
the most challenging issues facing communities worldwide is to build digital
communities that promote ‘interaction’ at the local level, while still
providing ways to integrate with global knowledge exchange networks.

Some of the tools we hope to contribute to this challenge are P2P and
wireless applications like www.echomyplace.com.

But more importantly, I saw the term “Judoka” in a post below ;) and being a
Judo grappling aficionado I must mention it.

Best Regards,
Jeff
