RDFMapper

RDFMapper from the Map Bureau.

RDFMapper is a web service that searches an RDF or RSS file for resources with geographic locations, and returns a map overlayed with dots representing located resources. Clicking on a dot displays a web page representing the clicked resource (see these examples). Arbitrary images can be treated as maps, so the service can be used for any kind of image annotation.

Context Awareness in GM Networks

Psiloc Mobile Solutions

Psiloc has a context-awareness addin for Nokia phones based on location identified by GSM base stations. Its a simple set of rules but not very intuitive to use if you ask me. Its definitely a step in the right direction if you ask me.

Wired News: Will Microsoft Wallop Friendster?

Wired News: Will Microsoft Wallop Friendster?

"Wallop is Microsoft's venture into the red-hot social-networking arena, using the common Microsoft tack of piecing together existing technologies and packaging them for the novice user. Those technologies include Friendster-style social-networking capabilities, super-simplistic blogging tools, moblogging, wikis and RSS feeds, all based on Microsoft's Instant Messenger functionality.

Mark Pincus, founder of Tribe, said he wouldn't be surprised if the work on Wallop never gets off the ground as a viable service for consumers.

"Microsoft had the last seven years to create something that makes (building networked) groups easy, but they still have nothing today," Pincus said, citing threedegrees.com as an example of Microsoft's unsuccessful foray into social networking. "

Moblogging and Augmented Reality

I have to agree with Ross Mayfield's Weblog Entry on moblogging as one of the many precursors to an augmented reality.

In my vision of a world of pervasive computing and augmented reality, users should be able to identify objects and locations/venues they are interested in, using intuitive interfaces (such as pointing and looking at something) and be able to pull out information most relevant to the user. Location based blogging - that includes people's opinions on locations and links relevant to it, is a first step in this direction where the information associated with a location might be identified and further processed upon.

Upcoming.org: Calendar & Event info syndication

Upcoming.org

A beautiful idea of using RSS to syndicate events and personal calendar information. In their own words:

"Upcoming.org is a collaborative event calendar, completely driven by people like you. Enter in the events you're attending, comment on events entered by others, and syndicate event listings to your own weblog.

As Upcoming.org learns more about the events you enjoy, it will suggest new events you never would have heard about."

Mobile Multimedia Blogging

Russell Beattie Notebook
Russell Beatie has some interesting thoughts on mobile multimedia blogging:

"Here's why I think consuming multimedia on the phone will be a big hit: It's about distractions. Every time I try to view a video or presentation on my computer, I get distracted. I start opening up other web pages, or get an email or something and lose track of the video or audio. On my TV that doesn't happen because there's only one thing going on, and I'm in a place that's meant for viewing (my couch). Same thing for mobile multimedia: If I'm on a train or a bus or in a doctor's office or driving down the street, that's the place where I can be dedicated to a task such as viewing a video or listening to a recording. There's little else to distract from the enjoyment of that experience. This is why mobile games are so popular now. When you have that extra moment, you play the game and you can focus on that game. "

"Now instead of that post about how cool last night's party and fireworks was, or a blurry picture, instead wouldn't it be great to see a 4 minute video of the event? Instead of that post about the weird sound coming from your engine, what about a full-on video of it? Obviously not everything translates to video, but there's so many things in day to day life that really could merit a quick little video for friends and family.

Anyways, that's my gut feeling: Mobile multimedia will be *big*. Not just in the sense that you can watch movies on a phone, but that you can watch movies *created* on a phone. The ease of use in creating and posting that the new devices allow and the fact that you can consume this content anywhere you go is going to combine to make it the killer mobile app. Also look for the telecom carriers to push it like *crazy* because they will eventually all realize that their business is simply selling Kilobytes and little more, and what better way to get people to start consuming those bytes but streaming multimedia?"
