Phone numbers give way to social networking profiles with RmbrMe May 8th, 2008 Entrepreneurs of all types have attempted to kill off the phone number in place of something simpler. We’ve seen tokens, special re-routing numbers, and even services that offer a number you can give someone that tells them you’re not interested. A new service called RmbrMe is of a different breed, choosing to use shortcode messaging to let you give out access to any or all of your social networking profiles with

Spammy Twitter accounts to get the virtual guillotine May 8th, 2008 There are very few rules on microblogging platform Twitter. But if you use it for unsolicited “tweets” about male enhancement products, watch out: Twitter has started to shut down accounts that it has flagged as “spam,” reported blogger Jesse Stay. Twitter employees confirmed the new tactic in their developer forum. “We’ve been considering this issue here at Twitter HQ, and we’re planning on simply removing the accounts of

Mapping start-up Socialight opens API May 7th, 2008 For something so focused on navigation and geography, it’s a bit ironic that location-based social networks have to work their way through such a jungle: carrier partnerships, handset compatibility, creepy privacy concerns, and what-have-you. But one small New York start-up, Socialight, says it’s found a route: developers, developers, developers. Socialight, which focuses on user-created city maps and whose founders insist that location-b

Customer service via Twitter works for unpopular people too May 7th, 2008 Yesterday I was in Internet purgatory. Today I’m back in the land of the living. The occasion? Cable installation–an activity on par with going to get fillings at the dentist. It’s time consuming, and often a learning experience about the quirks of wherever you’re living. When my wonderful technician was done, I had play-off basketball and what I thought was a working pipe into the Web. However, I learned soon after

I love Goog 411. And I’ve lately been feeling like I “get” social networking, even though I struggle to incorporate it into daily life. I mean, if it’s a time crunch requiring a choice between exercising and Twittering or LinkedIn, I have to choose exercise. Now, just as I think I have a handle on enough web-based technologies so as to feel current, I have heard about some new ones that I don’t grasp! I want to fit them neatly into some sort of mental genre folder. Help! The scoop on Loopt. L

Microsoft: Saving face by buying Facebook? May 7th, 2008 Microsoft, we get it: That Yahoo thing fell through, and picking up the pieces can be messy. But according to Kara Swisher at All Things D, Redmond just won’t give up. The company has reportedly put together a Plan B that it refers to as “Project Granola,” a name that makes “Zune” sound good. And part of “Project Granola,” Swisher wrote, is exploring the possibility of turning that $240 million stake in Facebook into an outright owne

We’ve been working with one of clients on marker performance. The problem with markers is they take a long time to load up especially when you add a lot of makers eg. over 100 markers. The performance gets worse when you add polygons or polylines to the map and as you add or remove layers to the map One of the problems is that the marker class is full of features - Info Windows, shadows, custom icons etc. The browser has to manage all of the DOM objects for the functionality.

Executing the task: the 5th step in customers’ job mapping Lance A. Bettencourt and Anthony W. Ulwick have developed a method called “job mapping,” which breaks down the task the customer wants done into a series of discrete process steps. Authors think that this efficient yet simple method could help companies find new ways to innovate. Authors argue that by deconstructing a job from beginning to end, a company gains a complete view of all the points at which a customer might desire more help

A Greek philosopher once said “An unexamined life is not worth living”. Self reflection is the time we take out in our daily life to reflect on ourselves.

China Cracks Down on Google Maps privacy/security, spatial data No Comments » The rumors about China’s scrutiny of online mapping sites has proven true.

I was asked last week about whether there were any good websites out there to map running routes. I know that the USATF website has one, and it has a searchable database of running routes. I liked the database (even saw the elevation of the Maine Marathon, which was better than that of the Boston Marathon), but didn’t do so well with the actual mapping tool - maybe I’m doing something wrong. I know there’s also MapMyRun, but honestly I think I lack the manual dexterity or something to use th

After having a little bit of a tantrum I put on my big girl panties, thought how I’m sure that Not Martha would probably conclude that I ripped her off if she stumbled on this site, but the truth is I didn’t discover NM until many months blogging at NN, and instantly felt somewhat lame and unoriginal, and I’m sure it’s the same case for my
