Voice Mark by GeoGraffiti

ABOUT US

Voice Mark™ by GeoGraffiti was founded by a team of experienced and passionate technologists and privately funded by a dedicated group of angel investors. We built the Voice Mark platform for public use and enjoyment, with a focus on enabling the ever-growing community of mobile phone users to openly express, share, aggregate, and retrieve local opinions in voice form. Voice Mark is our response to the obvious need to unite and share the collective local knowledge contained within our estimated 200 million U.S. mobile phone subscriber base, and by doing so satisfy some of today's “on-the-go” informational needs.

Voice Mark's mission is to organize the mobile phone community's “wisdom of crowds” intelligence, and to facilitate the exchange of that location-specific intelligence by providing a voice-driven platform that is accessible from any phone and any place.

A Voice Mark™ is a short phone message that shares information (e.g. opinions, tips, warnings, advice) about a place, an event, a topic, or really anything else you care to share. Think of Voice Mark as a verbal geo-billboard for sharing and retrieving Voice Mark™ messages while you are out and about visiting different places throughout the day. The name GeoGraffiti is a combination of the prefix “Geo”, meaning earth or land, representing our location-specific focus; while “Graffiti” represents the expressive and informative content marking those locations.

One of our goals is to make Voice Mark accessible to the entire mobile phone community, regardless of phone type or carrier network, and in doing so, encourage ubiquitous collaboration within the mobile phone community. Therefore, we designed GeoGraffiti to be phone and carrier agnostic, and to function more like a public voice mail system accessible via a standard phone call...no fancy phones required. With the launch of our Voice Mark™ apps for the iPhone & Android phones, Voice Marking the world just got a lot easier! Another goal was to encourage personable and authentic content ... and what better means than with the actual voices of you the people!

The Voice Mark™ service is 100% community-driven and the Voice Mark content is 100% consumer or business generated.  If you like what we are doing (or don't, but have a good suggestion), please contact us.
