Noticings: Foursquare for Photos? Kind of.

sarahlane
Need a little excitement? Snap into a little Flickr game I just discovered called Noticings! The rules are simple... notice cool things around you, take photos of those cool things, upload, tag, and get points! It's a bit like Foursquare for photos - easy, fun, and a great way to keep the creativity flowing.

    • Is there a Feed for just these Current Tech vids with Sarah? Be very useful, all the other stuff on Current Tech I've normally seen already on Digg or Engadget... Yes, I am that lazy!

    • Neat! I was at the Exploratorium last night and there was a misspelling on one of the exhibit descriptions - something about iron "loosing" its magnetic properties when heated. I was so distracted by it that I couldn't pay attention to the exhibit itself!

      Anyway. I like the idea of ever-changing criteria for earning points. Noticings seems cool because it would get you to notice your environment more by looking for things you'd typically never see. Badges and points are fun, but this type of game is best when it actually enriches your life in some real way. I might have to try this...

      P.S. You look nice!
