Coming to a sad realisation

Apple Ad
By a long way the funniest of the Apple Get-a-Mac campaign videos, “Security” gets all nasty at Vista’s new approach to application level security – Very Funny and a good reminder for my old friends in Southampton to pop along to the new Apple Store which opens on Saturday – Get there early for the T-Shirt !!.

Me, I’m waiting for the Kingston Apple store, quite fancy a job on the genius bar..

Geoware

GeowareYou can almost sense the building excitement around the development of “Neogeography” services and applications, following on from yesterdays very positive news from Plazes, I have just realised that I am presenting at the Geoware event next month with its founder Felix Petersen.

Geoware is the perfect example of the new more innovative approach now driving forward the development of new services which make use of Geographical Information.

Organised by the Innovation Lab in Århus, Denmark, Geoware brings together an international community of researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs and artists who are developing new business opportunities using place.

If you can make the trip I would recommend it, if not, keeping with the theme of exploiting the potential of technology, the event will be webcast at www.innovationlab.dk/uk

How much is Neogeography worth ?

Could be quite a lot ! Techcruch report that Plazes the European LBS/Social networking website has raised €2.7 million of VC funding.

Plazes

Not bad for a system with a small but growing user base, OK this is not in the realms of youtube yet, but clearly the potential value of such services is recognised, as the VC guys are valuing this at about €50 per user!

Congratulations to Felix and the plazes team, now I must go and update my plaze !
