I have been planning to write a post on Plazes for some weeks. Ever after they started implementing features that came out of a round of feedback they sought.
Today I found that Stefan and Felix have announced that a Plazes API is now available, opening it up to the wider field of programmers and code hackers at large, to play with and build their own interesting apps from it. Get to it!
Meanwhile I will try to spend the time needed to turn my thoughts on Plazes into the planned blogpost.
My current thinking about combining the information landscape with the physical one, and how social software works differently for different social distances in the relationships it helps support ties in nicely with some features of Plazes. And perhaps writing it also opens up new avenues for Plazes to pursue.
