Sun Jan 13 '13 Announcement from Mygeopin - The easy way to share your whereabouts with your world.

Article written by : Glenn Letham @ Gisuser.com the Geo-tech resource for GIS users & tech professionals . This is a clever solution that takes complex GPS coordinates and converts them into a customized “myGeopin” code for fast, simple sharing. Users can register their pin in order to secure a custom pin name that facilitates meaningful sharing.For example, secure your business name, your twitter name or special place name then share it. An example scenario would be to replace sharing something like latitude 40.756002 by longitude -73.986783 with a unique mygeopin name like US, NY, Times Square. An interesting solution indeed although it will depend greatly on the uptake of the application by the user community and then some viral spread via the user community… at first glance I have to say that this looks quite cool and may have some good possibilities although I’m not gonna hold my breath or bet on its success! Mygeopin is an “Indi” project that you can back, for example, a pledge of $24 will secure your mygeopin name for life! The group has an impressive following of about 3,000 already on facebook https://www.facebook.com/mygeopin Check out the project online for yourself at http://www.indiegogo.com/mygeopin
