			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://noticin.gs">Noticings</a> is an interesting idea for a web site.  It&#8217;s based around the excellent <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pigpogm/">Flickr</a> photo sharing site.  Imagine Flickr crossed with an open-ended treasure hunt.  You spot things &#8211; any things &#8211; and take photos.  Sign in at <a href="http://noticin.gs">Noticings</a> so they know to check for your pics.  Post the pics to Flickr, and tag them &#8216;noticings&#8217;.  They also have to be geotagged &#8211; added to the map on Flickr.  Depending on how you took them and got them there, that may happen automatically, but I had to do it manually after uploading.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pigpogm/4105988938/" title="Berries by pigpogm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/4105988938_030220b507_m.jpg" width="240" height="167" alt="Berries" align="right" style="margin-left: 5px" /></a>You then score points for the things you notice.  There are a set of rules, and various ways of scoring bonus points, but they&#8217;re changing all the time as they work out what works and what doesn&#8217;t.  You also have to have a little patience &#8211; things you notice are only added to the site the next day at 15:00 UTC.  That also means you don&#8217;t find out about a problem until it&#8217;s too late to fix it &#8211; I tagged a photo as &#8216;noticing&#8217; instead of &#8216;noticings&#8217;, and it cost me the points.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m hitting the problem that I&#8217;m not often out during daylight at the moment &#8211; winter isn&#8217;t great for photography when you have a job with &#8216;normal&#8217; hours.  Even when I am out, I don&#8217;t walk much during a normal weekday, but anything that encourages me to walk more has to be a good thing!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve only had one &#8216;noticing&#8217; so far, but it&#8217;s making me look for &#8216;things&#8217; more when I&#8217;m out, and I like that change.</p>
