Good enough can be great. Many companies unintentionally slow the innovation process by pushing for perfection. eBay ex-CEO Meg Whitman, quoted in a March 2005 issue of USA Today, put in nicely: “It’s better to put something out there and see the reaction and fix it on the fly…It’s another way of saying ‘perfect’ is the enemy of ‘good enough.’” Step, don’t leap. Great leaps forward, when companies spend many years and millions of dollars seeking to jump over existing companies, almost never wor

Me.dium takes away a feature, adds better one to replace it April 28th, 2008 Browser side-bar chat and friend app extraordinare Me.dium has just released a new version this afternoon. I met up with founder David Mandell at last week’s Web 2.0 Expo to chat about the new functionality, which he says is a very early version of Me.dium’s next big thing. This big thing is actually a small change–your friends and their presence in the app, which is now taking the focus. (Credit: Me.dium.com) Pr

Well, here’s a cool little hack for anyone who’s interested in building a GPS tracker for fun. Although I’d rather stick to my GoogleMaps on my Blackberry, this is good info for anyone who wants to build a custom app. The Open GPS Tracker is a small device which plugs into a $20 prepaid mobile phone to make a GPS tracker. The Tracker responds to text message commands, detects motion, and sends you its exact position, ready for Google Maps or your mapping software. The Tracker firmware is ope

My Favorite Local Ride…currently April 28th 2008 Posted to General My Favorite Local Ride currently has to be riding through Bloomer Park, over to Yates Cider Mill (which is now open for Ice Cream!), then loop back through Bloomer Park all the way into downtown Rochester.

John is closing the door on RoadDeaths.ie, a great mapping project which ran between 2006 and 2007 but hasn’t seen updates in the last nine months or so. I had offered in the past to carry the ball but my time constraints are just as bad. The site detailed fatal traffic collision reports for 2006 and into 2007, plotting each accident on a map of the country. This would be a great project for someone interesting in road deaths in Ireland, mapping, or someone with a desire to improve the faci

The Conservative Party have launched plans to introduce crime mapping to the UK and plan to make every police force release crime statistics on a monthly basis and publish them in map form. This will only work if chief constables are elected, an excellent idea that the other two parties are not keen on. If police chiefs are not elected, these maps are of use only to journalists and police officers in operational capacities. I can also see police officers being run up by members of the public

iPM is working with the CASA (Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis) - developer of a website for sharing maps - to use the technology more closely for journalistic ends. Aside from this (and in a totally non-scientific way, they say) iPM wants to create a mood map of the credit crunch, assessing how people the length of the country feel about possible financial choppy waters ahead that it can use it to inform journalism.

Negli ultimi anni, vi sono stati radicali cambiamenti nel modo percettivo in termini di tempo, spazio, consistenza materica e dell’identità. I vari individui sono ormai abituati a muoversi dentro spazi che utilizzano scale completamente differenti; dalla navigazione sattelitare alla nanotecnologia, dallo spazio virtuale a quello reale. Questi processi richiedono una certa adattabilità arricchita con l’accelerazione, in altre parole elasticità The MoMA’s ongoing exhibition examines the change

Ben Fry maps every road segment in All Streets, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line data. There's no actual map or drawn borders; instead Ben chooses to let the data do all the work, and the results are very pretty. Sometimes you don't need a map to map. I was somewhat surprised to see California's low road density compared to the eastern half of the country, but I guess that's because of all the freeways. What's more surprising though is that line down the middle. Roads all of a

Mapping Excess, Seeking Uses Bureau d'études and Multiplicity by Brian Holmes Utopian ideas — like "Spaceship Earth" — are round, multidimensional, interrelated: their archetypal map is the Milky Way, the infinite constellations. But rational thinking is instrumental, linear, it distorts: that's exactly the problem with the Mercator map, the most common world projection. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome, created a "Dymaxion map" to undo those distortions. Firs

McClatchy editors on the new challenge: Matt Thompson was one of the first people I know who talked about the evolution of journalism as it seeks to shift between dealing with information scarcity and information abundance. In his potent analogy, “The press earned its stripes covering a scandal [Watergate] about which information was scarce. The press lost its stripes covering a scandal [Enron] about which information was plentiful. The plenitude of information, not its scarcity, defines the

How I got burned by Twitter’s API, why it matters, and how to fix it April 28th, 2008 Last week I discovered I was using Twitter too much. After an hour online with Twhirl, I got this message in the app: “Limit exceeded, paused 5 min.” The error condition cleared up shortly, but the next morning, after just a few minutes, it came back and did not resolve. I had to go back to accessing Twitter via the Twitter.com site, where I still had access. I had been bitten by a deficiency in Twitte
