Nokia City Scenes: Prototype App with Mapping, 3D Panorama & Social Network Data Overlays - SocialTimes.com [08Nov11] - 0 views
-
Nokia City Scene is a prototype app from Nokia Beta Labs that combines street maps, 3D panoramic views with gesture navigation and social network integration to provide what appears to be a powerful map discovery tool.
-
A user can transition from a top-down conventional street view to a Google Maps Streetview-like panoramic view with simple gesture-based navigation. In this 3D panoramic view, the phone user can read information about the businesses in the area in a text overlay. Check-ins by friends on Facebook and Foursquare is also available. The following cities are currently supported within Nokia City Scenes: London, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Newark-Jersey City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
-
It is somewhat unfortunate that this powerful tool is only available for the Nokia N9 which is based on an orphaned mobile platform, the Linux-based MeeGo. Nokia has not said whether this app will be ported to Windows Phone (its current smartphone platform).
Wikets, The Social Commerce App With $1.5M In Funding, Rewards Users For Recommendations | TechCrunch [08Nov11] - 0 views

In September, Wikets, Inc., announced it had raised $1.5 million from venture firms Andreessen Horowitz and Battery Ventures, as well as from six angel investors, to build a new iPhone application that allows users to rate products and share those recommendations with friends. Today, the app has gone live in iTunes.

10/04/17 Digital Dossier - TEDxSeattle, Greg Bear on too much information - 0 views
-
Perhaps we need to ensure that the future world is “info friendly”?
-
Using word pictures like “the pig’s blood of technology,” award-winning science fiction author Greg Bear urged Friday’s TEDxSeattle audience to be mindful of our increasingly public and digitally-archived lives. “The web that knows who you are … do you want it to?” he asked.“All of us are neural nodes” in a massive and “vast social brain.” What does it mean to live in a world where finding a moment of private time — for nefarious or honorable reasons — becomes nearly impossible?We don’t know, Bear asserted. “We must understand that we cannot predict the ultimate social response to technology.” In part, that is because society changes over time. Bear painted two scenarios related to our increasingly visible digital lives.In one, he used humor to take us to a world where everyone has a digital dossierBut in the other world, a darker world, social mores have changed. In that future world, behavior that was “acceptable” in 2010 (like drinking coffee) is no longer legal.Read more at wiredpen.com
The Privacy Dilemma - Facebook, like the internet, is not a private place. [28Apr10] - 0 views
-
Privacy is ultimately the social media denizen’s dilemma. So, are you building a glass house, or a fortified castle?
Amplify’d from socialmediatoday.comThere there are the folks who are appalled that people could be so amazingly stupid to think their information was “just between friends” in the first place.
The internet is not a private place. Simple as that. Does that make their new changes acceptable? Certainly not. Why? Because they portrayed it as a safe haven and now they’ve switched gears when the majority of their users weren’t looking. They may not be so savvy. So do us all a favor. Share Peter’s post with those people. Share the link to the video below. Help get the word out that if you want something private don’t say it on the internet. See more at socialmediatoday.com

Privacy is ultimately the social media denizen's dilemma. So, are you building a glass house, or a fortified castle? On a side note, this evening I rapidly clipped this article during a demonstration for @UOSPJ (The University of Oregon's Society of Professional Journalists Chapter). It was a half-assed effort, but regardless of the quality of the following clip: they love Amplify.
How "Fast Zebras" Navigate Informal Networks [30Apr10] - 0 views
-
Are you a “fast zebra”??? If so, it means you have special insight into navigating informal networks, I suspect there may be herds of them racing around in social media.
-
former US Ambassador to the United Nations, has a term for people who can quickly absorb information, adapt to new challenges, and get people aligned in the right direction: fast zebras. They are the people who can skirt around or blast through the kind of gridlock found not only in the political spectrum, but in organizations of every stripe.The metaphor is based on the fast zebra on the African savannah who survives a trip to the drinking hole by moving quickly while slower herd members fall prey to waiting predators. Well, organizations are sometimes like the savannah; to the new-comer, they constitute vast, unexplored areas fraught with hidden dangers. The fast zebras in both contexts travel the terrain swiftly to accomplish significant goals while the naïve ones run into the predators of red tape, unaligned incentives, and unmotivated teams.A fast zebra is someone who is singularly focused on achieving performance results, knows how the organization can both hinder and help, and charts their course accordingly. In particular, they are wise about when to use the formal and rational elements of organization (such as hierarchy, processes, and monetary rewards) and when to use the informal and emotional elements (including values, networks, and feelings about the work).

How CIOs Misunderestimate Social Media - 0 views
-
Why should a CIO care? I have long said that the real source of competitive advantage in the future will stem from an organization’s ability to rapidly assemble, disassemble, and reassemble high-performance teams. Collaboration and community will replace rigid structures. Facilitating that kind of agility is the real promise of social media. And we’re missing it.Read more at www.enterpriseefficiency.com

Police open up to social media - 0 views
-
PC Ed Rogerson is on Twitter. He is one of about 20 or so police officers that have turned to the micro-blogging service. “It works on a far more local level than the force-wide Facebook group,” he said. “It’s local to Harrogate and our problems.” Some of his messages, or tweets, contain advice for residents. On occasion he announces an arrest. Others are just to let people know that, while they were out, the police were on patrol. “People do not see us so they do not think we are there,” he said. North Yorkshire police are among the few forces using social media. Its Safer Neighbourhood teams use it to send out messages and it has reserved a page that will soon become its presence on Facebook. “Posting a message on Twitter warning about a spate of burglaries in an area is a similar concept to pinning up a poster on the local parish council noticeboard.” “Doing either in isolation might be fine, but by doing both we can spread that warning even further.” Read more at news.bbc.co.uk
Social media 'could transform public services' - 0 views
-
Social media could transform the NHS and other public services in the same way that file-sharing changed the music industry, a conference has heard.Growing use of tools, such as Facebook and Twitter, offered an opportunity to reinvent services, delegates heard. “It’s happened to the music and travel industries and it’s going to happen to public services,” said Dr Paul Hodgkin, founder of the Patient Opinion site that organised the MyPublicServices conference. He said that conversations about people’s experiences with public services were going on all over the web and needed to be taken into account.“This is about turning things upside down so the thing that looks like a deficit, your experience, becomes the gift you have to give to other people.” “I’m not sure that the government can re-engineer itself from the inside out,” he said. “It’s going to take the demands of people to force it into shape.” Read more at news.bbc.co.uk
