WeFi
Chris Harris posted on SLJ’s Digital Reshift this week a new tool called WeFi - “A new social site is developing with the objective of mapping free wi-fi access points. WeFi uses an overlay on Google Maps to display recorded hot spots.?”
I downloaded the tool and have been trying it out. So far I have contributed more sites than found, but I am confident that others will join with us to unmask the myriad of places where free wi-fi is available in our communities. Today I rode around in a pickup truck with the laptop open just seeing how many hotspots were available in my community. I have already learned which businesses I will frequent because they have free wi-fi available. If you’d really like me to stay awhile, have access so I can work surrounded by people and feel like I am part of society even if I am actually doing some deep thinking on a school topic.
