What is plnkx?
The word ‘plnkx’ is a rough contraction of internet place link.
What’s an internet place link?
An internet place link is a location-based, digital post-anywhere-note.
Digital
Digital means it lives on the web, just like your email.
Location-based
Location-based means it’s tied to a specific location, for example, your home address — except that instead of using your street address to identify the location it uses your browser or smart phone’s GPS coordinates.
Post-Anywhere-Notes
Your message or note is like a digital cairn that can be plopped down anywhere there are GPS coordinates: outside your house, on the Grand Coulee dam, at your favorite restaurant, on the White House lawn.
plnkx is currently in BETA release.
