Yahoo’s location-based social, augmented reality patent app

The patent app is titled Virtual Notes in a Reality Overlay and describes the idea of notes left at a location “for you” by your friends - combined with advertising and a few other things including ” social graph analysis, permissioning, expiration dates, contextual advertising and more. It’s not just text notes, it includes methods of augmented reality with photos, videos and more.”

Remember it was filed in July 2008, so much of this stuff, individually, already exists in some apps.
