Loop: AIGA Journal of Interaction Design : Nomadic Digimarking

While browsing around I recently found this article on Nomadic Digimarking or the ability to leave a temporal digital mark of public spaces while not physically leaving any mark on public property. This allows people to transcend time and space by digital being transported to or socially networked to individuals, places, and things that may or may not be in one particular location at any given time. Socially this can allow people to make connections with others based on personal experience regardless of physical a meeting

When you think about it this concept isn't new by any means. This is what writers have been doing for centuries by describing distant places to their readers. However the concept (like everything else in the world) has only been trubocharged in our modern age.

I guess that is enough headiness for now.
