Global Guerrillas -- JOURNAL: Cell Phone Coordination of Open Source Protests
'Here's a cool little phone app called Sukey to help people navigate during a protest/riot. Very useful in avoiding kettling (a slang term for police crowd containment). NOTE: A slight variant of this could be used to direct open source protests by select routes and targets/takedowns (using a reddit style upvote process for each)'

Where Are The Cuts?
'You've probably heard already, but The Cuts Are Coming(!) But what and where? The purpose of Where Are The Cuts? is to try to answer that question by mapping what that means on the ground, in real life, at street level. The cuts you see on this site display have all been collected from official sources or entered directly by members of the public. There's no 'official' list of what's being cut where, so we need your help to build up the map. So, if you know about a service that's been cut near you - like a library, or a bus route - or have read about some redundancies at your local council, or that there's suddenly less money for a research programme at a university, you can help build up the Where Are The Cuts? map.'

TechCrunch -- A Private, Anti-Foursquare To Geo-Fence Those Neer To You
'Instead of implicitly checking into different spots like you do with Foursquare and Gowalla, or broadcasting everywhere you go in the background like you do with Google Latitude, Neer creates geo-fences that trigger location updates to your inner circle. With Neer, you create a geo-fence around certain places like home, work, or school simply by marking them on your phone when you are there. Entering or leaving the location triggers an update message to your inner circle. Rather than seeing where you are on a map, all they see is the name you’ve given each place.'

'A group of Dutch coders called Urban Edibles has built an "augmented foraging" application for Android phones.

Mashable -- Why Location-Based Social Media Needs to Get "Passive" Aggressive
'...smart, passive checkins. More advanced systems could also guard against “cheating” because they would keep you honest: Your phone is like your IP address. If we can find smart ways to stop fictional checkins, this in turn will make rewards and prizes for loyalty more relevant. The next step, once you have approved the checkin, would be whether you would push this information to Facebook (Facebook) and/or Twitter (Twitter). The option would of course exist to be easily “OffGrid,” if you don’t want to be found. This feature would also make a lot of sense for “swarming.” A swarm is a proactive thing, one of the cornerstones of social networking and a real payoff for geosocial. If a predictive system was implemented, the service could then know when to expect a swarm and how many people would likely be there — data that would be extremely valuable for a variety of businesses. What we want is a passive geosocial experience, and we don’t care who brings it to us.'

John Gravois -- The Agnostic Cartographer
'Google is intent on upending our very notion of what a map is. Rather than produce one definitive map of the world, Google offers multiple interpretations of the earth’s geography. Sometimes, this takes the form of customized maps that cater to the beliefs of one nation or another. More often, though, Google is simply an agnostic cartographer—a peddler of “place browsers” that contain a multitude of views instead of univocal, authoritative, traditional maps. “We work to provide as much discoverable information as possible so that users can make their own judgments about geopolitical disputes,” writes Robert Boorstin, the director of Google’s public policy team. That new user-generated system of production has given rise to what people have begun calling “neogeography. The corporation simply wants to have searchable dominion over as much information as possible—the more plural and local, the better. (More unique search terms mean more revenue streams.)'

Nieman Journalism Lab -- Ushahidi in 3G: How media outlets could extend the mapping platform beyond crisis communications
'“Unbounded crowdsourcing” is what we are familiar with: the idea of opening up a platform to the world, and letting the world contribute. “Bounded crowdsourcing” is when you have a specific network of individuals who are doing the reporting. So it’s a known, trusted network of individuals. So what they did is they had their own journalists on the ground, who were texting and tweeting live to the map, but they also opened it up to other residents — people in Gaza — to also submit information. ...you don’t necessarily know whether the crowd is trustworthy, or individuals in the crowd are trustworthy ...if some of these individuals start also reporting the same event that the journalists are reporting, then you know they might actually be more trustworthy. And so it creates this kind of digital trace, or like a shadow of history that allows you to start identifying which individuals in the crowd may actually be trustworthy. And you can sort of assign them a higher credibility score.'

'Ushahidi [software] uses the concept of crowdsourcing for social activism and public accountability, serving as an initial model for what has been coined as 'activist mapping' - the combination of social activism, citizen journalism and geospatial information. Ushahidi provides a mechanism for local observers to submit reports using their mobile phones or the internet, while simultaneously creating a temporal and geospatial archive of events.'

Wikipedia -- Map–territory relation
'The map is not the territory is a remark by Polish-American scientist and philosopher Alfred Korzybski, encapsulating his view that an abstraction derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing itself.' -- 'The development of electronic media blurs the line between map and territory by allowing for the simulation of ideas as encoded in electronic signals, as Baudrillard argues in Simulacra & Simulation: "Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: A hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is nevertheless the map that precedes the territory - precession of simulacra - that engenders the territory."'

'Neurons in the hippocampus, also known as "place cells", activate when we move around to tell us where we are. ... all young men with experience of playing videogames - moved around the virtual reality environment. The data was then passed through a computer. "We asked whether we could see any interesting patterns in the neural activity that could tell us what the participants were thinking, or in this case where they were," said Professor Eleanor Maguire. "Surprisingly, just by looking at the brain data we could predict exactly where they were in the virtual reality environment. In other words we could 'read' their spatial memories."' -- !!!

pachube -- connecting environments, patching the planet
'Welcome to Pachube, a service that enables people to tag and share real time environmental data from objects, devices and spaces around the world. The key aim is to facilitate interaction between remote environments, both physical and virtual. Pachube is a little like YouTube, except that, rather than sharing videos, Pachube enables people to monitor and share real time environmental data from sensors that are connected to the internet. Pachube acts between environments, able both to capture input data (from remote sensors) and serve output data (to remote actuators). Connections can be made between any two environments, facilitating even spontaneous or previously unplanned connections. Apart from being used in physical environments, it also enables people to embed this data in web-pages, in effect to "blog" sensor data.' -- Wow. This is seriously, like, WOW!

"The American military and intelligence communities are increasingly worried that would-be bin Ladens might gather in a virtual world, to plan a real-life attack. They imagine terrorists rehearsing attacks in these worlds, just like the U.S. military trains with commercial shoot-em-up games. They worry that the massively multiplayer games make it incredibly easy to gather plotters from around the world. But, mostly, virtual worlds are nerve-wracking to spies because they're so hard to monitor. The accounts are pseudonymous. The access is global. The jargon is thick. And most of the spy agencies' employees aren't exactly level-70 shamans." -- America LOL
