geoblog
Blog not only your events, but your location too | |
The actual blog site would contain a map of your surrounding area. It could use graphic maps or satellite imagery.
Your cell phone would constantly transmit your location to the site and a path is drawn to follow your movements throughout the day. If you take a picture (camera phone), the picture
is uploaded and displayed at that point on the map. You can also add a description to the picture.
Anyone looking at the site will have the option of seeing the progression of your day using play/pause/stop/ff/rewind controls.
There's obvious "big brother" issues and data transmission limits on current technology. However, I would definitely love to be able to do this.

I like that site where people draw pictures by using GPS tracking. |

yup, there's nothing to stop you including your position in RSS, there are a couple of ways of doing it, but everyone seems to be going the geourl way (see link). From there you can map them, see your neighbours, trace your speed ? etc. etc. etc. I co-wrote a firefox plug in which also provides a list of urls and photos near 'you' - see other link. |

I'm afraid parts of this are very baked, the new thing (well, I've not seen it) is the constant tracking, which, as you suggest, has a few downsides (hmm.. I notice [neilp] isn't home.. I must go and burgle his house.. if only I knew where he lived.. oh what's this.. the exact latitude and longitude of his house). |

p.s. your mobile phone on it's own doesn't know where it is, unless it's an HP HW 6500 |
