Glow: Location-Based "Feelings" for iPhone
Ever wonder how the people in your neighborhood are feeling? How about those that work downtown? Are people really happier on a Friday than a Monday? A new mobile application called Glow will tell you. Designed for the iPhone, this app lets you share your feelings using a simple star-based rating system that you manipulate using a swiping gesture. Once you've added your "feeling," it's displayed a map so you can see how those around you feel, too. The feelings on the map are represented by glowing colored orbs that range from blue (happy) to red (unhappy). In addition, an augmented reality street view lets you see those same feelings layered on top of real-world photos.
Scared Of Technology? You're Old!
Apparently, growing up digital doesn't just mean being used to technology - it means not being scared of it when things go wrong, either.
Do crashing computers and busted Blackberries completely freak you out? Does a cryptic error message on your screen leave you feeling defeated or discouraged? According to a new study from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, your age might have something to do with your attitudes and emotions surrounding technology.
The Color of Music
Moody offers a different way
to categorize your music collection. Using color-coded tagging, this app lets
you categorize your iTunes music based on the "mood" of the song. Horizontally,
the scale goes from sad to happy, and vertically the scale goes from calm to
intense. When you listen to a song, you rate it using Moody, which launches in a small floating window on your screen outside of the iTunes application. After your songs are tagged, you can then play music based on your mood.
Earthmine: Building a 3D Datamine of the Urban Environment
Earthmine, the Best Technology Innovation/Achievement category winner at tonight's Crunchies, is a company that might seem uninteresting at first glance. When I first saw earthmine I assumed that it was just a Google Maps Streetview knock-off. I was wrong.
This startup is doing something far more interesting than that. While Google Maps and related consumer products have whetted the public's appetite for visualization of specific places on a map, earthmine is making those places machine readable.
