We admit to being the type of pansies that seek out a trash receptacle to deposit our chewed gum, but for the other
nine tenths of society the sidewalk seems to be as good a place as any to spit that Double Bubble. Well now someone has
figured out how to put all those sidewalk gum spots to good use with GSPS: the GumSpots Positioning System. You merely
take a picture of the sidewalk with your
cameraphone and send it to the service, which
then determines your location based on the unique pattern of gum spots — ala
QR codes — and sends back the image with extra
data such as “connect the dot spot” drawings to keep you occupied. They’re currently seeking investors to create
a social community based around the concept, so bust out your phone and get practicing on those sidewalk pics.
