philgyford : Extenuating Circumstances – SXSW 2008: Creative Collaboration: Building Web Apps Together - Good notes on a SXSW panel. I wonder where I'd fit in, but also wonder why I'm doing all this theatre nonsense when reading stuff like this makes me so excited.

plasticbag : Dopplr—the social network for frequent travellers—has launched and I would recommend that if you're a conference goer or business type you sign up immediately... - Lots of lovely people I respect and love worked on it, and it's increasingly taking the seed crystal of exposing collisions between people and extrapolating it in all kinds of fascinating directions.
Rod Begbie : DOPPLR - Dopplr's out of beta, and open for signups. If you ever do any travelling, it's a great way to find "co-incidences" when your friends' trips collide with yours. Gorgeous login screen too! #

plasticbag : There's a new N95 firmware update out and apparently it massively improves GPS performance. Interesting! - Matt Biddulph found this one. Anything that's good for the N95 is good for Fire Eagle. Mobile phones that you can build on with GPS units installed are cool and future and stuff like that.

plasticbag : Yay! Dopplr crew have got some nice sexy funding from Joichi Ito, Saul Klein and sundry other excellent people - That means Biddulph gets to work on it more over the next couple of years. Happy-making. Little jealous.

Linkorama : going fulltime on Dopplr - great app for the jetset, like plazes with premenition
plasticbag : Matt Biddulph has gone full time as CTO of Dopplr... - I'm very happy for Matt—and love dopplr—just can't help feeling a little bit sad that we're not working with each other, which is something I've wanted to do again pretty much immediately ever since we both left the BBC... Miss Webb as well...

plasticbag : Matt Biddulph demonstrates how he can now exert pressure on objects in a virtual space by manipulating objects in real space - This is fascinating and lovely. Teledildonics leaps to mind, of course, but then it would. After that, you get into more interesting relationships between ambient connected devices and virtual worlds, and that's when I get all moist.

plasticbag : Mr Biddulph's been playing with GPS and Google Earth Assistant - I just bought a little GPS thing. Lessons I've learned with GPS - it's a good rule of life to watch what Matt Webb's doing now and then make it comprehensible to real people three years later...

plasticbag : Alas, Second Life! Web 2.0 in a virtual world - Matt Biddulph dragged me into Second Life this evening while I should have been working to blow my mind with fun Flickr widgets in game. Could revolutionise the poster industry!
Andy Baio : Flickr widgets in Second Life - next, there needs to be a way to upload Second Life screenshots to Flickr while in-game [via]
jimray : hackdiary: Alas, Second Life! Web 2.0 in a virtual world - I really need to sign up for Second Life as soon as my internet connection comes

plasticbag : Matt Biddulph talks "Using Wikipedia and the Yahoo API to give structure to flat lists" - We've been having enormous fun at work at the moment experimenting with semantic network effects at the level of services. Totally worth a read this. Tip of the ice-berg...
Paul Hammond : hackdiary: Using Wikipedia and the Yahoo API to give structure to flat lists - an impressive result that comes at zero cost
kellan : hackdiary: Using Wikipedia and the Yahoo API to give structure to flat lists - I think we're starting to reach a tipping point of sufficient semi-structured data on the web. #

plasticbag : Matt Biddulph writes about deli.cio.us for XML.com - Del.icio.us and tag-based structures like Flickr are still interesting the hell out of me - mainly because of the possibility of the sudden creation of a completely new layer of information worth mining and manipulating.
