Reminds me of those guerilla artists who would project sms messages onto public buildings and signs.

Urballoon is a helium balloon that’s equipped with a projector and a wireless connection to the web. An accompanying website/web application enables users to submit text and images and have it broadcast in public space.
A great who’s who of the folks building the next (current) wave of great stuff online.

Open Media 100 List
Good list Marc. It would be interesting to see this list evolve on a regular basis. I am not sure if the categories are the best. I think ‘Toolsmisths’ could be separated by the infra folks and the upper layer service folks. Right now, it looks like it’s mostly service folks.
One thing I realized after Les Blogs was that it was an amazing get-together of the folks who are actually leaders of Web 2.0 and that the close and collaborative feeling was not harnessed. I mentioned to Loïc and others that the next conference should have something concrete come out of it.
Well, seems like others are thinking the same thing.
Stowe Boyd is pulling together another gathering of Social Media people and realizes that something concrete needs to come out of it.
That’s great.
And I want to explore Marc Cantor’s contention (see here) that this has to be more than just a brief real world event: it needs to be an ongoing community, with continuing virtual activity after the symposium is over, and leading up to the event itself.
Yes, it’s neat that Apple made podacasting part of iTunes. But, did anyone notice that their podcasting library was via the Music Store? That means that it’s a sinch to start charging for podcasts.
Now, that’s a wickedly cool – subscription narrowcasting, anyone? – TiVo for your ears. Money for the content doobies.

comprehensive notes.
for me of course, the mobile stuff is where my head is at. why can’t the operators just get out of the way? they own some of the juiciest location info, apps can really easy integrate automatic location info from the handset, and mix it with some good web apps and the pc and you can have a bazillion services bloom!
i remember talking to nathan eagle, who tracks the cellids in the metro boston area and he saw them moving every so often – on purpose? just by accident? oh, the need for a database like cddb.
hello, operators, wake up! get out of the way and you will prevail! provide location info for free and everyone will swamp your networks with mind-blowing services! the mobile is perfect for this and the only thing holding it back is your 20th century thinking!
sheesh.
