About

A guestbook for the whole internet.

The internet is enormous and mostly forgets. World Wall is a small, stubborn exception: one public wall where anyone can leave their mark and have it stay. Write your name and a few words, or sign it by hand. Your mark gets a number — the order it arrived in — and a permanent place on the wall.

So far 2,472 people from 106 countries have signed it.

How it works

  1. Leave your mark. No account, no email. A first name is enough; a city is optional.
  2. Get your number. Mark Nº 1 sits at the center of the wall. Every mark after it takes the next seat, spiralling outward like tree rings, so your number is also your address.
  3. Share it. Every mark has its own page that looks good when you send it to friends. When they sign, they land right next to you.

Why a wall?

People have always written “I was here” — on stones, in visitor books, on the backs of doors. It's a small way of saying you existed and passed through. A digital guestbook shouldn't be a form that disappears into a database; it should be a place you can walk around in, where you can find your own name among strangers from everywhere else.

The World

Every mark says where it came from — a country, and a city if you like. The world map lights up as marks arrive, and each country has a page of the people who signed from there. We never ask for or store your precise location.

Plaques

The internet has a long tradition of finite spaces that become valuable because there are only so many of them. The wall has one: exactly 100 plaques built into its geometry, which brands and makers can own. They sit in their own blocks and never cover anyone's mark. Read about plaques.

Keeping it kind

A wall anyone can write on needs a few rules. Links aren't allowed, hateful or sexual content is blocked, and anyone can report a mark. Read the wall rules and how we handle your data in the privacy notice.
