Six years ago, when I first started Frontiers of Interaction, I wouldn’t have imagined to start talking about exporting the conference abroad. Well.. now read what I’ve just posted on the conference blog:

The HUB Milano – opening soon
The Hub is a network of office spaces distributed in 12 cities over 4 continents and is
a social enterprise with the ambition to inspire and support imaginative and enterprising initiatives for a better world (see the full about here).
I’ve recently had a nice chinese lunch with the founders of the Milan chapter with the personal aim to visit the place (I saw the photos online and the building was marvellous, I’m seriously considering to pay for a basic subscription in order to have a place to hang around in my creative moments) and to know the bright minded people who founded such an idea.
I also felt it would be interesting to create a link between Frontiers of Interaction – which bases its own existence on innovation – and The Hub – which exists for innovative people. And I’m happy we ended the lunch with a very cool idea of collaboration that’s going to be unveiled in the forthcoming weeks.
Google Earth VS Second Life for Real estate
Notice: for those of you who just in the latest times got in touch with this blog I work for Gabetti, one of the biggest Real Estate companies here in Italy and I produced and managed its world renowed Second Life project; so this post might be kinda influenced, but this is MY blog isn’t it? 
Today I got in touch with a post (in Italian) that (re)launched Google Earth (and its latest web browser plugin) as the mantra tool for real estate: it’s 3D, it renders the buildings (sort of), it lets you plan and build whaterver building you like. And it’s been kinda crrrrepy experience: yes it makes you seamlessy move in a 3D space but the overall experience really lacks of all that magic I got acquainted in Second Life.
