| See something cool on the street? Take a picture and send it to blockies so others can see it and start adding to the real-world photo album you just created. Here\'s how it works: You need a cameraphone, and a Blockies sticker. Each sticker has a unique code on it, so any place you put a Blockies sticker gets tagged with that code. Whenever you send pictures to Blockies.com from your cameraphone, you put the code in a message to nyc@blockies.com, and we link your picture to that location. It\'s like posting a polaroid on a street corner. Other people can see your picture on their phones by text messaging us the sticker code. Anyone can add photos to any sticker, making a collection or photo album of that spot, and all pictures are archived on Blockies.com. Stick these up anywhere and everywhere. Bar bathrooms. Bus stops. Sidewalks. Wherever you want to leave your photo message. like a message in a bottle..only less wet. | ||
| Audience: | Blockies is for anyone who wants to mark up public space with their photos. | |
