Location Bookmarking Service LifeTack Could Catch On

January 17th, 2009 MobileFreak

I often grow weary of a new site or app that seems a little too similar to existing services, but with a different color and logo. And I have to be honest, that’s exactly what crossed my mind when I heard about a new location bookmarking service called LifeTack.

It’s been a pleasant surprise to see how and why people might use this service. To get an idea of what locations people might bookmark, check out their public tacks.

We at MobileMammoth love it for the mobile version, of course, which has been optimized for mobile devices, and requires a free account to access. When you think about it, accessing this information from a mobile phone can be of much greater value than sitting at home or at the office.

I am sure there are similar sites out there, and certainly tools like Google Maps can implement this functionality fairly quickly (if they haven’t already). But if LifeTack continues to focus on one thing and manage to do it better than anyone else, there are a lot of reasons to give this site a try.

Now go set a few LifeTacks and see what you think!
