Someday Cafe's 'wiffiti' screen: boon or bane?

[ron_newman]

Last week, the Someday Cafe installed a plasma video screen which they call a Wiffiti board. The idea is, you send it a short text message from your cellphone, and it displays that message on the screen, alongside many other people's messages. It's an experiment by a Davis Square company called LocaModa.

Some people don't seem to like it at all. Join in on the discussion here and here.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Wiffiti itself since I haven't seen it, but based on the photograph I am sad that it appears to have taken my favorite seating area.

yeah, there is that. wasn't there a comfy thing there before?

Yes, there was a sofa, two soft chairs, and a small coffee table. I wonder how the rest of the place has been rearranged to accomodate the change (Please don't let them have nixed my favorite chair!).

it's no longer where that photo shows it. it's now on the back wall, next to the restroom door.

Yeah, I was sad because I liked working at that long wooden table. Ah well. I do like the wiffiti board.
