It’s a couple of weeks since the launch of Historypin, and our role as photo scanning partner. I’ve been following the publicity Google / We Are What We Do have been getting for this venture.
The response on dozens of blogs has been universally positive, exciting many people imagination about the role of photos to bring people together across generations. Many of these blogs have been by UK publishers but there has been significant interest from around the world.
Historypin prompted a lively debate in Australia about privacy, with many positive ideas about how good the concept is. But consistently people want more photos on the site. Well, the answer is in our own hands - put your photos on the site or better still send them to us so we can scan them for you.

It’s official - 1Scan is the photo scanning service for Historypin, a clever new photo sharing service jointly developed with Google.
Yesterday we were invited to the launch event. Around 200 people gathered at the Royal Institution in London for talks about the service and demonstrations after. We tried hard to resist clicking on the page that links to our site, but you can by clicking on the 1Scan photo scanning page.
We have some great postcards produced to publicise Historypin and we’ll be sending those out with scanned work.
