Think of it as Google Earth with sound. As you browse Sizmio.com, you get to hear geo-tagged sounds that match the location you’re viewing. Plus, you can upload your own sounds through the website or via the Sizmio iPhone app. What kind of sounds will people add? We’re not quite sure yet, but we expect to hear ambient noises, local music, sounds of nature and anything else that our users are interested in sharing. Sizmio was initially created at a Startup Weekend event in Edmonton, Canada in February of 2011.
