URBAN CURSOR


Danish designer Sebastian Campion recently brought his Urban Cursor project to the Ingràvid Festival in Figueres, Spain. Passersby moved the cursor, which was mounted on wheels and outfitted with GPS, around the city center. The cursor’s movements were tracked on Google Maps. According to Campion, the object of the project is “to facilitate social interaction and play in public space.”

Google Social Search - big news

GIven the interest in all things social I'm surprised the Google Social Search announcement hasn't got more coverage. Giving Google access to your social networks will enable the search results to show relevant information posted by your friends - across Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, Yelp etc (although no mention of Facebook so we'll assume that's a no)

The local aspect is very interesting when we think about mobile - another example of mobile and social coming together.

Thoughts? Will you give Google access to your social graph?
