Dropspot is a google map mashup that lets people hide a gift and mark it on the map for others to find. Searchers ideally hide new gifts, or pass along their newfound treasure. Then everyone talks about it online. There’s no face-to-face aspect about it, and I imagine that meeting a fellow dropspotter would be kind of weird.
There’s a dropspot in mpls and I’m going to check it out this weekend; I’ll report back on Monday.
not if i get there first
ReplyDeletei guess its something like http://www.geocacher.se/ (sorry for everyone who cant read swedish, which is about everyone else i guess...)
ReplyDeleteits all about finding 'treasures' other ppl hide, using a gps, and their directions or something..

I came, I saw....and I determined my dropspot gift must be a corn kernel I found on the ground...because that was the only interesting thing around. The spot was in a high foot traffic place, so I can see how someone might have gotten there before me. dammit, though! being a sleuth was a fun enough second place prize, I guess.
