Registered at LIFT2007 on the 8th February 2007, I finally started using the service today (i.e. I needed almost half a year to adapt, even though Plazes was a trigami customer ;-). I installed the Plazer 2.0 and I installed the widget (see the sidebar). So far I like the user interface very much.
Lets plaze it!
Felix Petersen is a founder of Plazes, a Zurich/Berlin based company which provides geo-location services. Felix agreed that I record his presentation at Red Herring 100 in Cannes:

Plazes has raised €2.7 mio early this year and is growing very fast. A cool thing about Plazes is that they want to digitize walk-in customers in offline settings and create what Felix calls the "PageRank of the real world". E.g. you can see how many people went to a certain restaurant or checked-in in a certain hotel. This opens cool opportunities for behaviorial targeting or related stuff.

Plazes hat €2.7 Mio Kapital aufgenommen. Das Zürcher/Berliner Unternehmen scheint es also ernst zu meinen ;-). Ich bin gespannt wie es weitergeht.
