Moving to New York

Posted by | February 10, 2005 | diary | No Comments

I am moving to New York at the end of the month, to continue working on a product which I hope to launch next week.

The product is somewhere between Flickr and delicious and, amongst other things, will build upon the concept of tagging, to allow ‘metatagging’, where anyone can create their own types of category: restaurant, location=ny etc.

While I’m really looking forward to it (I am still an architect at heart and NY is an architect’s wet dream), I will miss San Francisco.

For me, San Francisco is a model of a 21st century city, it is at the heart of an area which is the world capital of both science and liberal thinking. As such, it is one of the few places where engineering is taken to a truly creative level, becoming an art as much as a science.
