Thingster is a massive meta machine aimed at allowing people to blog, publish events, and share photos. In addition, anything you publish can have a latitude and longitude. With the maps we're developing of Burning Man you'll be able to see what's going on around you, and also signal to everyone on the playa information about yourself and your experiences. You will be able to upload your photos from the event in real time, and show exactly where you took it on the playa with your GPS.
This is designed to be deployed as an in-playa service. We will publish the information afterwards back to thingster.org, and likewise, anything you publish now on thingster.org will be available at the burn. If you wish to start creating profiles and scheduling events, it's not a problem.
Thingster is open source, so if you want to help improve it your efforts will be welcomed. Also the roam-net project (http://roam.igargoyle.com/) is going to be using thingster to broadcast geo-webcam feeds during the event.
If you have any questions, feel free to reply or email me directly at tomlong@gmail.com. I'll try to help as much as possible!
