Crunkie Offers Location Specific Blogging

Posted on May 6, 2005

A new mobile blogging tool has launched called Crunkie. Crunkie allows users to leave blogged messages at specific locations. Blogspotting explains:

You walk into a Chinese restaurant and your phone buzzes. It's a blog post from a friend with a simple message: Avoid the duck. This is one vision of future blogging from Qualcomm CEO-elect Paul Jacobs, who just stopped by our office. (He's the one on the left in the photo).
This new type of posting is linked to a certain location. It's called a Crunkie. The idea is that you can leave location-based posts in certain places for your friends. And they pop up when your friends appear.

People can also find location-tagged notes and photos with Crunkie. Visitors to Crunkie can look up restaurants and nightclubs and view posts people have left for these places. Some of the popular Crunkie categories include bars, dining, flirting and nightlife. Crunkie also has social networking features.
