Yellow Arrow @09:12 PM

The way it works is “participants place arrows pointing at the locations and things that count most to them, their most cherished views of the city, the subway stations they frequent daily, their favorite bodegas and neighborhood parks. When placing an arrow, a participant sends a text message to YellowArrow.org with the sticker?s ID number and a brief story about why this location is important. When another person encounters an arrow in the city, he or she sends a message with the arrow’s ID number to YellowArrow.org and immediately receives the short message associated with it on their phone.”

I just read the article in Wired on Yellow Arrow. It seems like a really great project. We should try something similar around campus.

Umm, what happens when the arrow gets taken down? When is it appropriate and where is it appropriate to use such arrows? I would be worried that it would become graphitti like and people would become annoyed with them.
