This is a completely new thing for me. I downloaded the HistoryPin app, did a quick look at a couple of the guides, and then had a play. Such potential, but nothing within about a 15km radius of me - I initially thought I was doing something wrong, but realised that it was just a lack of uploads. I love the idea though, and think that local history collections and small museums have a great opportunity to get in and really enhance their reach into the community.In the catchup week I want to photograph a couple of local sights and pin them - and hopefully other people in my community will do the same.
I didn't try any of the other apps - I sometimes feel that I wish there was 'one app to rule them all' - I know I've downloaded great apps in the past but I forget that they are there because I'm not needing/using them regularly. However, I also don't want everything to be on the one platform 'cause I think that stifles innovation. Sigh. First World Problems...
