Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky is an application for cell phones which maps your familiarity (or at least the familiarity of the phone) with your environment by mappinh how often other GPS enabled phones are encountered as you go about your day. It's an interesting idea.

I seem to recall a vaporware of yesteryear which would enable passerby to write messages in the air in physical space with their PDA's or cell phones. If you passed close enough physically and wore special glasses or read through your PDA or cell phone you could read what others have written.

I'd like to see something like this developed for blogs. There should be a way, perhaps by tracking IPs on comments, to map out what parts of the world your readers come from. And then post this as a live map of some kind. Is Atrios read more by the red states, or the blue?

Today there's a lively discussion of Bloki, a web-based collaborative tool that combines aspects of blogs and wikis. I haven't explored it much yet, but so far mostly what I've seen is the wiki part (the ability... (Weblog Concepts)
A day without blogging: Since I started Radio Free Blogistan last July I'd managed to post at least one entry every day, until yesterday. Since I use RFB to aggregate blog posts to a number of different sites, this means that RFB had a continuous calendar running back to its first day. I was kinda... (Weblog Concepts)
