Digital Planet, the BBC World Service's weekly technology program, is usually very interesting, but this week's episode was of particularly so - PlaceWhisper gets discussed briefly during an article on geo-located data!
We're totally stoked to be mentioned - quite an honour. We doff our hat to Bill Thompson, who raises some good points on data persistence in applications like PlaceWhisper, and how do you stop the world becoming littered over time with persistent spacial data. We've got some ideas on how PlaceWhisper will deal with this, and it'll be very interesting to see how these hold up to real world data over time.
