Twitter the nuclear option
Stilgherrian points to a great read. I particularly loved this quote describing the potency of Twitter….”This newest of new things has only just started to rise up and flex its muscles. The street, ever watchful, will find new uses for it, uses that corporations, governments and institutions of every stripe will find incredibly distasteful, chaotic, and impossible to manage.”
Frasers Broadway
Grant Young points to this amazing (looking) bit of Green architecture. I have to agree with Grant that the various artists impressions always leave me a little skeptical. I’ll track the detail on their website with interest. Draping plants over balconies never seem to last long. Why? Because humans let them die. Let’s hope the building has systems for managing humans lack of plant care.
Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth
Photosynth is getting a run in CSI NY episode “Behold the Future”. CBS’s trailer is out but I don’t think the episode has aired yet. I first checked out the Photosynth technology mid last year when it was soft launched via the Microsoft labs blog. It’s worth a look through the tech preview on the Photosynth website - stuff of the future.
