thank you

new social etiquettes will emerge

i think about the law of unintended consequences - you can't predict what will happen

we've seen this happen with fluidtime - how actually picks a place and time to meet these days?

two that come to mind:

who moves first? - if everyone can see where all their friends are, when going somewhere, who will move first and actually get their first.
fluidplace

what will people talk about? - where are you? is one of I think three phone conversation starters - necessary interaction before you can get to what you really want to talk about - if we automate that (and the weather), people will either communicate less or have to find new social norms to talk about

privacy issues
(no way to represent privacy)
i think a lot about it
but I refuse to say that new technology is good or bad
all have to play along, and work our way through the problems

data fuzziness

don't need exact co-ords for most things (and they're not user friendly)

might be city or street

broadcast where you are
Dopplr

Nokia Sports Tracker

but at a more local level - I've tried a few systems for real-time broadcast of where you and your friends are

throw pictures on maps

interesting, but, but

(usefulness when static/not on mobile, go from sparse maps to too much of everything very quickly)

'throw me on maps'

4 years ago, sufficiently advanced technology… nokia 6600, bluetooth gps, patch antenna, a little app that threw the information to my web server

a couple of days travel in Helsinki

GPS traces/failures

place
a wave of location-aware devices are coming - either GPS (50-100 million) or more rougher location finding techniques
see me on a map is still a revelation
however, the standard use case for location - navigation - is a rare use for most

a location wake

people
person metadata is kinda assumed in communication ;)
weirdly still hard to tag other media with people
whilst facebook isn't useful for any kind of group communication, it provides your ur-list of people you might ever have contact with
quickly grab and create small groups of people ,and use them for communication, access, and sharing

time
time is a harder concept
it's unstoppable, and past, present and future have to be treated differently
most metadata is past time, a history
limited use of computer-understandable data
many calendars
