tagging real world objects
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
One evening at the library.....
I was returning a book.. someone else had reserved it..
It would be interesting to talk to the next borrower. Not many people are into alternative history.
How do we initiate a conversation with future readers of this book?
A ryokan in kyoto, japan
omoide noto - memory notebook
We find this notebook on the table. what is this book. Let’s open it.
We find stories penned by guest’s who had stayed in this room in the past..
The omoide noto gives us an idea. Can we build an online narrative or blog for a physical object or a
place?
And we build iwinkd.com
Going back to the book. Let’s say we had a message for future readers
We go to iwinkd.com and create our message
“Loved this story. I want to see the movie too. I wonder if there is some thing like this about Japan winning the war”
iwinkd gives us a tag
“your iwinkd tag is hot8725”
We attach the tag to the book
and return the book to the library
The next borrower....
She finds our tag
She enters the tag at iwinkd
hot8725
She reads our message..... and comments too
“Loved this story. I want to see the movie too. I wonder if there is some thing like this about Japan winning the war”
“Search for fatherland on youtube for a clip. The DVD is hard to find”
Other future readers can
embed youtube, mapsin addition to
text
