Findery announced they are now open to the public, still as a beta, but open for anyone to sign up with and use.

Findery originally launched as Pinwheel but had to change their name to Findery over a trademark infringement issue.

Findery allows users to leave public or private geotagged notes that are associated with real-world places and can be discovered by others.

Now anyone can go to Findery.com and sign up and use the service.

Findery also promises more features including:

• Maps for Notes that you can embed on other sites and video embedding within Findery.
• Save the places that you’d like to visit.
• Updates to their iPhone and Android apps.
