The Nest Unclutterer protects your privacy from marketers and businesses by blocking followers who are already following too many people. # It removes followers who have been inactive for a given period of time. # It helps create a whitelist of users exempt from any rule-based actions. # The Nest Unclutterer will help you render those little nuisance birds as extinct as the dodo. # The Nest Unclutterer allows you to review a list of accounts that meet your user-specified criteria before any blocking or unfollowing occurs. At that point you may add additional accounts to the whitelist before any actions are performed. via Tim Childers

Storycaching is a proof-of-concept project combining GPS units, iPods, and laptop computers to create, store and share audio stories where absolute place is important. By using a GPS to locate a specific point on the earth and then listening to a podcast specific to that area, a new dimension in communication is created. Also, an artifact, trinket, or other symbolic object can be cached at that exact site adding a compelling relevance to the story. The experience could even include the podcast guiding the listener to the cache from the beginning point noted by the GPS. Once combined, the iPod and the GPS will recreate concept of sharing stories both in the capabilities of the storyteller and the expectations of the listener. via Brenda Muench
