Nothing to do with Flash Lite, but I wanted to post about flagr, since they got a write up in MHT (Mass High Tech).

The idea is pretty straight forward, share places of interest on a map via TXT’ing instead of GPS. Here is the low down:

The founders believed there should be an easy way for EVERYONE to share where they go, while on the go. Such a system would not be limited to use with fancy GPS-enabled mobile phones. Instead, it would rely on the already-popular text messaging infrastructure available on almost every cell phone. With such a system, users previously excluded from such services can take part in an extraordinary social experience. They can Sharewhere, anywhere.

Whether exploring new places or revisiting their favorite venues, most everyone you know is constantly exploring. Every now and again, you may hear of the travels, but more often than not, such news is lost to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Flagr changes all this by enabling you to easily keep tabs with your friends’ most current whereabouts as well as their thoughts along the way. Whether it’s a killer burrito place or a new hilarious movie that your friends stumble upon, you are “in the know�.

Check them out at: FLAGR.COM … (I can already hear Alessandro pounding away on the his keyboard).
