Kevin MarksOriginally uploaded by O'Reilly ConferencesLast week at Web2expo I gave a 10-minute keynote on the new vocabulary needed to understand where the web is going - most of this comes from sociology and anthropology. If you've been following my blog, you'll recognise this inculdes ideas from my Twitter in Theory post, from the Flow Past Web, from one on Digital Publics and of course from the...

This weekend, Adam Penenberg wrote a post at Techcrunch Let’s Kill “Viral”: It’s Time For a New Word in which, after being ridiculed by radio hosts over the title of his book 'The Viral Loop' he says:The problem, I think, is the word “viral,” which comes from biology and was retrofitted to cover the phenomenon of word-of-mouth—or on the Web, so-called “word-of-mouse”—dissemination of ideas. I propose...

Almost 800 years ago in 1215, a group of Barons pinned King John down and got a written list of rights, some of which are still British Law. This week, by contrast, Baron Mandelson plans to revoke rights by government fiat. Lets compare. Magna Carta:(20) For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence correspondingly, but...

I've had a Sidekick since 2004 when I was at Technorati - it's great keyboard and integrated support for web, email, instant messaging and the built-in app store that meant I could add an SSH terminal was perfect for being on call to fix servers while commuting by train. Another great innovation was storing all contacts, calendars, emails etc in the cloud, so upgrading phones—even to new models—meant...

A quick perusal of Apple's iTunes store and you will be overwhelmed with choices of photo editing applications for your iPhone and iPod Touch. Adobe has just released Photoshop.com Mobile that lets you quickly and easily edit and share your photos with simple gestures directly on your iPhone.Simply take pictures with your iPhone and either edit them on the device itself or save your photos at the...

One interesting observation I've made with the iPhone is that the device, the plan and all the associated applications have helped me part with money even faster than I ever could before. For starters I pay more than I did for the Blackberry, I use it far more than I ever used a mobile phone before and I purchase a huge number of applications and songs that I didn't before.Now I can even use my iPhone...

Unless I need it, I usually don't carry my iPhone with me when I travel out of country. The charges associated with data and long distance calls are outrageous. I've used the GPS map feature on my iPhone to find my way around a new city, but at a huge cost.Thanks to Dubbele's Mobile Street Maps, you can now pre-download an entire map of a place you will be traveling to. It works where Google Maps...

Last night I saw Bryan Adams play in a smaller venue, which was very nicely done. I've been a big fan of his for the last 25 years and I've always enjoyed seeing him play live. He played only with an acoustic guitar and harmonica, his voice and a pianist who played along for about 2/3 of the songs. He started off by playing one of his classic songs off the Reckless album, Run to you. Bryan then...

Apple announced today that more than two Billion (2,000,000,000) applications have been downloaded from its app store. That is one heck of a big number. There are now over 85,000 applications available on the iTunes store. Apple has more than 50 Million (50,000,000) iPhone and iPod touch customers worldwide. The iPhone is now available in 77 countries with some recent huge market entries just...

Says Marshall Kirkpatrick in Twitter is More Likely to Be Meaningful Than TV In one of those conversations, Kevin Marks (formerly of Technorati and Google, now at British Telecom) told me the following: he believes that Twitter is more likely to be interesting than television because we opt-in to particular streams of other peoples’ updates that we find interesting. That creates a positive feedback...

Would you survive without your iphone? How about if you were stranded on a deserted island? There is a new game on the iTunes store that quizzes you so see how you could survive is stranded. Using this app you can find out if you would be able to rough it out until help arrives to save you, or if you would perish the first day.Would You Survive? is a free iPhone application that will probably teach...

"How to stop worrying and love the internet" is a prescient essay on how the web has evolved since, because it gets to the heart of the transition back to interactivity from mass media. It touches on the nature of trust and how that is realised on the net, and how the net makes clear that the institutional shortcuts to trust no longer hold. What we need is to connect what is said on the net to people....

To help developers with creating apps for their iTunes store, Apple now has an App Store Resource Center. This shows new would-be developers the process and documentation required to launch an application on the iTunes store for the iPhone and iPod Touch.At first glance this looks like a huge improvement. Even for those who are familiar with Cocoa Touch and the programming, Apple has some long and...

I really enjoy finding new and interesting iPhone apps. Skyscrapers was just released about a week ago on the iTunes store. It is a puzzle game where the goal is to build skyscrapers.In this iPhone app you build skyscrapers from the bottom up as the floors slide across the screen. The more successful you are making the buildings taller, the more difficult it becomes as the new floors arrive faster....

I'm often surprised at some of the nifty applications that come up for the iPhone and many of the things you can do with it. Usually it involves a utility or game app that can be played on your iPhone or iPod Touch.Air Mouse Pro is a cool app that transforms your iPhone into a wireless remote for your computer. Using the built in accelerometer in the Apple device, you can move the iPhone like a...

It looks like a bug with the release of iPhone OS 3.1 because when I search the categories section of the Canadian iTunes store, I get nothing but the Skype icon instead of the categories. If I click on the icons they all go to the same games section. Since it's been that way since the beginning of the weekend i figure there must be an explanation. Here is my top ten reasons why it's doing this:10....

Like most people, I enjoy playing the occasional game on my iPhone or the peace and quiet it gives me while the kids play on it during the drive to school. Often I find a game that I will play almost daily and then either delete the app completely or move it to the last page where it will stay until I need more space. Kind of like piling up dirty laundry I guess.Sometimes I come across an iPhone...

I can just picture the irony if a company like Microsoft designed a phone & OS and called it all the Orange. We could truly compare Apples to Oranges!There has been so much talk (arguing) recently about who's better, faster and more equipped... you get the point! The fact is, Apple's iPhone has a tremendous lead at the moment with it's huge number of applications. They are at the height of...

Apple has just released the OS 3.1 software update for the iPhone.

I must admit sometimes I enjoy a simple and somewhat mindless game that gives me a quick break from reality. Parachute Panic Lite is such a game. It is a free iPhone application available at the iTunes store.The basic strategy of this fun game is to land a bunch of parachutists onto passing boats. An airplane flies by and drops one or more people who mustn't be very smart. Not the sharpest knives...

With Apple just releasing 3.1 OS for the iPhone, there are a number of new features we are bound to be talking about in the next couple of days - more info later!One enhancement to the MobileMe Find my iPhone, is the ability to remotely set a four-digit passcode lock. This would obviously be the first step, before using the feature where you wipe the lost iPhone clean of all stored informati...

As well as shooting, uploading and sharing photos and videos, the app lets you geo-tag and add them to a set.

I have several friends who have lost their iPhones, or had then stolen from them. MobileMe has a great feature that allows you to find your iPhone from any computer. It shows the approximate location on a map to easily "remember" if you've left it at the office, the gym or at the kid's school.There is also the capability to send a message to your phone for the finder to read. Type something like...

It is generally accepted that going to the gym, running or any form of exercise if good for your health. Doing the running is easy. Put on some runners and away you go. I learned that when I was three. What I find difficult is going to the gym. I can get all ready, wear all the right work-out clothing, take a water bottle, have some music and... when I get to the gym I look at all the equipment...

This new innovative puzzle lets you place gears in between one moving and one stationary gear, with the goal being to make them all turn.

In my last blog article I suggested getting Mobile Me from the free 60 day trial offered by Apple. There are a lot of different features with Mobile Me and in this section I will discuss some of the basics: Calendar, Contacts, Gallery and Mail.Calendar:The biggest advantage about the calendar feature of Mobile Me is the online ability to sync all of your devices together. You almost need to look...

No docking is required to keep your iPhone and Mac or PC in sync as it is done with push technology. Mobile me also lets you add photos taken from your iPhone to your own web gallery. Again, everything will sync.Here is a short video tutorial showing...

Maybe it's just me but some sports hardly seem to qualify as a sport. Soccer is a sport, hockey is a sport and skiing is a sport too. Curling??? I just don't know. I'm not sure it takes great endurance or peak physical shape to be good at the sport. Basically you have to have good hand-eye coordination, not mind being cold, have lots of patience and be a coffee drinker. Did I miss anything?For...

With the start of school many kids are struggling to remember some of the basics that two months off has let them forget, albeit temporarily. As parents, there isn't too much we can do to improve their performance quickly in any subject... except perhaps math. Math is one area where even some quick practice can help a child recall what they forgot from last year. For years I've used flash-cards...
