GeoNotes: social enhancement of physical space

ABSTRACT

The GeoNotes system allows users to annotate physical locations with virtual 'notes', which are then pushed to or accessed by other users when in the vicinity. GeoNotes employs a number of social filtering techniques, which all rely on logging of usage rather than content.
