"witness the fitness", what a great idea this was shame it got pulled @frankieroberto #idea

nice integration into wikipedia bringing relevant information into a key source.

this is really interesting... news, information as currency and how it spreads.

lovely attempt at creating a spimey world thru oyster card usage...

the town twinning peeps.

a wonderful thing.

british council event given the schulze / webb / jones treatment

London transport museum fun project - this could be a way to mark(up) the city

“There’s great opportunity here to create an ecology of services embodied as robust, valuable, exciting new tools with focused, limited functionality, tied together with item-level identification and wireless networks. Whole classes of things that can enrich our lives and bank accounts are now possible thanks to the way ubiquitous computing interweaves services and devices at an intimate, everyday level….

All this web stuff is going to look like a picnic compared to the horrors that will be dealt to the agency and media businesses when every product has a communications channel built right in. And I suspect it's a channel that most brand-owners will feel a lot more comfortable with. Marketing/advertising was always a necessary evil for most businesses. And Something bolted onto the culture. And they've never liked ITV. And having to do all this social networking stuff gives most of them the willies. But integrating communication and information into the product is something they can get behind quickly and easily.

liking this idea a lot... a collation of ur activity from which you can do *so* much. stories, reports, actions (like producing feedback loops to calendars).

brilliant. be good to cohere something around talks and workshops open to the public around this idea - linked to a read / write calander (maybe upcoming?)

tom has a loverely idea...

2 years on and where are we...

I *love* this idea as a proper take on all this back-to-basics, skint meme - a proper folksiness to it

young me, now me - a moving re-use of old video by Vimeo founder.

fantastic. forget chocks, it should just corrupt your playlist with Grime to make you want to walk straight...

aha! some inventiveness in the games world. a "hotter" / "colder" type game for mobile maps would be a neat extension of this...

Like the experimentation especially the way in which they distribute the story and bring int back together in e.g. of Slice. Not sure that it idn't a tad demandingtho. Like it's for technologies sake rather than for story's sake.

IDEO starts blogging about what it does...one to watch...

I like wordle. And I like this use of it - marking out keywords from texts, in this case 'the tiger'. Be interesting to compare machine term extraction with human around key texts. hmm....

neat use of flickr as a user / product db

neat upcycled phone. does success need to be mass made? how could this be made on a local level but carrying nokia product guarantees?

"Semantic discovery is a way to find information without knowing explicitly what you're looking for BUT "you know it when you see it." " - - there are some BIG assumptions there and on first pass it fails the big one. I didn't know when I saw it!

agreed. but as soon as you measure something it always seems to increase. how could doing less be actually doing more? dopplr's nemesis.

yes, quite possibly.

a process requiring human processing. and a series of groups set up to do just that. pareidolia? mental.

A web app not focused on white middle class digi-males! No way! Potential...

from bbjones. indeed a magical thought that there are big, mighty, old things out there like airplane engines that are saying what they're doing. who's listening?
