Flickr founder launches geo-blogging app Pinwheel

Fri Feb 17 2012, 11:10 AM

Flickr founder Caterina Fake is launching a new social app, Pinwheel, which enables users to pin ‘Notes' to certain locations around the world. Based in San Francisco, Pinwheel has just secured an undisclosed funding round led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from True Ventures, Betaworks and SV Angel. Resembling a hybrid of hobby dashboard Pinterest, check-in site Foursquare and blog platform Tumblr, Pinwheel users can organise Notes into a series, such as a travelogue or diary, with the option to publish to public, private or shared sets.
