# TEQLA > TEQLA indexes the world's moments to where and when they belong. > > Every place has a past. TEQLA pins it to the map: anonymous notes about what happened here, and questions asking what did. TEQLA is anonymous and text-only. There are no accounts and no usernames. A post is words pinned to a place. TEQLA does not take photos or other files. Anyone can read a public post. These pages are for reading and citation. TEQLA does not offer a way for a bot to post. A note is a short public message about what happened at a place. A question stays on that place and stays open, and anyone can answer it. An answer is a public reply. When a question has a best answer, that answer stays with it. Echoes are curated historical and true moments published by TEQLA, pinned to the place they belong. On the map an echo is an orange ripple. Stories are fictional missed connections. TEQLA marks a story as fiction. Stories are not part of the public index.
