Grafedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ge Grafedia is hyperlinked text, written by hand onto physical surfaces and linking to rich media content – images, video, sound files, and so forth. Grafedia can be written in letters or postcards, on the body as tattoos, or on the street, Grafedia written "on the street" is likely to be illegal and considered vandalism. Viewers 'click' on these Grafedia hyperlinks with their cell phones by sending a message addressed to the word + "@grafedia.net" to get the content behind the link."
The project was created in 2005 by John Geraci who also created Neighbornode.

[edit] How to make Grafedia
As quoted from grafedia.net Make Grafedia From Your Phone...
Grafedia authors can make hyperlinked text at any time in three easy steps. Simply
- choose a word.
- send a media file from your cell phone to that chosen word plus '@grafedia.net'. This combination, the word + '@grafedia.net', becomes your grafedia link for that word.
- write, draw, paint, tattoo, or print that grafedia link anywhere in the real world in blue with an underline, to allow others to access your media files.
There's no need to create an account or log in to upload work to grafedia.net. You can just anonymously upload an image and link it to a word, then go out and make grafedia with it.
