Lets face it, I can’t imagine a more horrifying example for the use of Technology. Lifestreaming or life recorder as its also referred to is basically recording EVERY single intimate millisecond of your existence on to a digital file. And it doesn’t stop there. You see, it also means that anyone who crosses your path [...]

Augmented Reality need GEO partnerships
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
For a while ‘AR’ was a little confusing to say the least but now I realise it stands for Augmented Reality. This article a few months ago from Thenextweb.com explains it very well indeed. Basically though, its a combination of the vritual world with the real one. In fact, as long ago as last year [...]

Traditional guides are dead!
Friday, July 10th, 2009
We’ve just uploaded a video of iGuidez.com on an iPhone. The quality is not the best but the message it presents is astonishing. It’s the first time we’ve really put it through the mill and the results are surprisingly good. What this has really proven now is that traditional travel guides are dead in the [...]

A Googlist: Google’s new soldier.
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Google have taken a rather novel approach to increasing their unparalleled street mapping services by employing cyclists on ricksaws to map tourist attractions off the beaten track. Reported by the Times, since cars or vehicles cannot get anywhere near these monuments and points of interest that are located in the middle of parks, fields and [...]

Places directory
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009
TechCrunch has just reported a new Android app called Places Directory. Sounds like an interesting application since it will automaticall list all the bars, restaurants, museums etc around where you are walking or driving if the that’s the case. It’s just another updated version of location based services to hit the mobile market. They report [...]

Geo mapping galore
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
A report by the BBC establishes that 99% of the earth is mapped now. This monumental task was undertaken by Nasa and the Japanese ministry called Aster. No doubt Google will be updating their records in the not so distant future. Nasa is also reporting to be transfering old data to the new mapping system. [...]

Could GeoVector whip iPhone’s pants?
Sunday, June 7th, 2009
An interesting article surfaced last week from Newswrdy about the iPhone: The new iPhone is a pointing device for the real world. Apple is trying to fast track the whole concept of getting access to location-based information. Although, their effort may be some what biased towards advertising since they appear to be more interested in [...]

Sqaured searching
Saturday, June 6th, 2009
The quite new and relatively untested Google Squared has been coming in for a bit of flak these days. But as TechCrunch reports Google make no apologies that this is part of their labs projects and therefore simply in its infancy. It hasn’t obviously stopped some from launching broadsides at the poor results returned on [...]

Search and more search
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
It seems that the only thing being reported these days is all about ‘search’. The big one of course was the new release of the Wolfram which has everyone’s attention. But then there’s Twitter‘s real time search not to mention all the other ones getting in on the act: FriendFeed etc. Poor Yahoo though got [...]
