SkyWrite.me - Writing In The Sky

I have always been fascinated by those planes that write in the sky. It might have something to do with the fact that as a child I always wanted to be a pilot. Anything that flies is bound to attract my attention – and the word “anything” should be taken literally.

My chances of getting my hands on anything that flies are not vey likely, so a site like this one suffices for the time being. Basically, it lets you write anything in the sky. That is, a sky which is found on the Wold Wide Web.

Some might wonder what good is a site like this one - IE, what advantage has it got over micro-blogging services and so forth? The answer is that it gives messages a glamorous touch.

The sky on this site is a unique one. That means that any person who opens the site will see the same sky. This sky is refreshed every five minutes, and it changes its aspect according to the actual time of day.

On the whole, if you want to message someone in a different context, this website will do the trick. Keep it in mind and give it a try next time inspiration calls.

“Skywrite.me is all about writing Remarkable Messages; it is not another Microblogging System. The concept is rather to give your already existing Messages an extraordinary, glamorous touch by writing them into the Sky. This means you can import Messages from several existing Social Networks or Microblogging Systems like Twitter, Tumblr, Plurk or Friendfeed and 'send them somewhere and to someone'. The Sky on Skywrite.me is unique, everyone who opens it, will see the same current Skywriting. It changes at 5-minute intervals. Also the Sky itself changes with the Skywriting, because by connecting a Skywriting to a specific location its view depends on some local factors. This means, for example, that your Message will appear either in daylight or in the night sky.”

It is a different approach to messaging that might truly resonate with some people.

What features could be added in order to give this service an edge of its own, and make it compete with other messaging services?
