The idea of Placebook is social networking for places. Sort of like if you could have a facebook or twitter account for a place. People can log in and add locations, then people can make posts on it's wall, or add tags to the location to denote activies and social groups associated with that place (eg a cafe may have a food tag and a tag that linked to a book club that met there on tuesdays). As my uni project I wish to develop basic functionality, but this is something I will likely be persuing even I leave university, though not really as a profit making venture, more as one of those things you just want to use yourself ;) Ultimately, I want to write a mobile interface (This may happen as a uni project) and allow import / export of GPS trails, interfacing with TomTom and other mobile navigation systems etc etc. I managed to buy placebook.tv and placebook.mobi, so keep an eye out there!
