People are Overly Data Driven
By jason - up to 2007 (archived) • Apr 10th, 2007 • Category: Loose Ends, News for Creatives (archives)Read a fascinating article in TIME.com…. Twitter has become a hot new micro-blog where people post what they did that minute, and/or what they will do. It’s a narccistic or lonely approach to online socializing. Not only are internet websites becoming micro-data-fied, but mobile devices are getting better.
“As if BlackBerrys and Treos weren’t hard enough to put down, Apple will start selling the iPhone in June, and the new category of ultra-mini PCs like the FlipStart and the OQO2 is threatening to make computers as portable as cell phones. Two, wi-fi is becoming ubiquitous. Google and Earthlink have a deal in place to supply all of San Francisco with free wireless Internet access. Philadelphia, Anaheim, Calif., and Madison, Wis., already have it, as do dozens of other cities and towns. Within 10 years, most of urban and suburban America will be bathed in free wi-fi service. Airlines are expected to fire up in-flight wi-fi in the next 12 months.”
