Sometimes there’s just something about a certain place you’d want to share with others. Maybe that there is a great view from the corner window, that the coffee shop gets really full at 6:00pm, or that the OPACs are located in the room to the left. Enter Socialight (found via smartmobs).
Socialight is a neat new service created to help share just this type of information. You can use your cell phone or computer to create virtual post-it notes of pictures, notes, and songs for specific locations. The Socialight site provides some neat uses, and I’m sure creative library-folk could come up with useful ways to use this service, too. Imagine showing people how to get to the multimedia section! The reference desk! How to self check-out! This service is in Beta, so it’s currently only available in the US and through certain cell phone providers, but even in beta it’s fun to play with.
