Stickybits based in the New York and SF Dogpatch Labs and founded by Billy Chasen and Seth Goldstein launched today. stickybits is a new platform for connecting the physical and digital worlds. Peter Flint will be joining the board (see his blog post) and here’s the Techcrunch coverage.
stickybits are unique codes that can be attached to physical objects. Using the stickybits mobile app, codes can be written to or read by any iPhone or Android device. Scanning codes shows information associated with the objects, and can notify users when their objects have been scanned, augmented, or moved.
According to stickybits investor Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus (IBM): stickybits is a platform with an open architecture for connecting the physical and digital worlds. This will come to be seen as completely obvious and wonderfully powerful, so I am very excited to get involved at the outset. There are great opportunities for innovation here; people will use our codes in ways we can’t even imagine.”
