Slideshare is to presentations what Flickr is to photos.
Brilliant. Useful. Quick. Social. One button. Sharable. And, oh, so web 2.0!
The software, developed by the usual suspects at Uzanto, is actually in private beta: I have some invitation left I haven’t planned to use, so you might want to leave a comment under this picture to receive one.
Or, as I’d like to say: starting the innovation of the real estate market; Gabetti Open Points are interactive windows we started spreading through italy. They’re a 24h/7 Gabetty agency where you can search for an house or office, simulate your loan, and leave your data to be contacted by an agent.
These interactive shop windows are built using a supercool fanless hush computer, a 32” Nec LCD screen and a touch-sensible ultrathin film that converts the existing glass window into an input device. Even if the technology isn’t so cutting edge I’ve never seen something similar applied to a shopping experience, moreover if we talk about real estate business.
There’s an interesting effect that we observed as more and more of this open points appear in our shops: the Observers or – as my boss likes to say – the “Broken Window effect“. When you use one of our Open Points immediately a huge crowd becomes visible on your back: curious people that have never ever seen something similar: a shop window that can be touched to interact with a monitor. WOW.
If you leave in Italy (or planning a trip to) be sure to leave a comment here below. We’re starting with a promotional initiative that involves the Open Points and a mass market distribution firm. you could try these machines and also win a 150.000 euros worth prize.
Flickr has recently released a new tool to display geotagged photos and manually geocode existing ones.
I’m very happy to announce that the NEW version of Mobup (v.0.4) is now freely available with a function to automatically geotag your photos using an external bluetooth GPS device.
We’re supporting ALL the external GPS devices that could be used paired with a bluetooth cameraphone. If you don’t have any you could buy one for few bucks on eBay (I’ve bought mine there, and it’s plain great!)
All the Mobup geotagged photos are visible not only on Flickr and its maps but also on our very own mash-up prepared by Tom Landspurg.
