As a member of the ZoneTag team, I would like to point out a couple of things.
First, "Yahoo! has just rolled out" would be an overstatement... ZoneTag is a research prototype from Yahoo! Research Berkeley. The ZoneTag prototpye is going to have a limited number of users (sign up quickly!). ZoneTag will be available for a limited number of handsets (make sure you have one that we support). Finally, the service might not be offered forever. Well, nothing is forever, but you know what I mean.
Second, although very related to Merkitys (we love it!), ZoneTag is in no way "based" on it.
“At a glance -- particularly as a non-Storm user -- you might say "wait a second, that's just a Storm." And in reality, you wouldn't be far off with that assessment.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Thanks for the post and feedback!
