According to Fake,
That sounds nice for sure for many people, but for me it sounds like an echo. I remember hearing it somewhere else. Remember Repudo? Here is how Repudo works- Ouch! Digital objects turn into notes and that’s it. The concept still remains the same. Both Repudo and Pinwheel are location based with multimedia thrown in to the mix. Now this isn’t too different from how Pinwheel seems to work. Below is an example shared by Fake of a note she wrote for her friend Lauren
What more? Fake is planning to add features like categorization & push notifications to Pinwheel which are already present in Repudo. Even the proposed monetization techniques are similar. Fake says that the businesses will be able to create their own sponsored notes at given places. Repudo too works on a similar model which they call ‘Specials‘. To be fair, I haven’t personally used Pinwheel as it is still in private beta and all the information I have is courtesy Fake’s blog post. Repudo has been around for a few months now and hasn’t really managed to kick off as much as they would have hoped. No wonder Pinwheel has managed to avoid any comparison till now. But not anymore.
