Plazes micro elegy [1]
I finally gave up on Plazes — after two years, after they totally broke it (by, in one majestic batshit swoop, redesigning the site and discontinuing the API and junking up the desktop client), and after everybody else in the local nova mob stopped using it.
But: there’s some slightly unknown collective action that Plazes didn’t enable — and neither yet has anything else. All those little timeslices of Plazes-attention over all those months got me: a sense of space, weird trivia about University buildings, and a few happy excuses to meet a new person in an airport ✈ or cafe ♨.
Here are my notes about Plazes from 26 months ago.
