Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.

This is Part 1 of Aurora, a concept video created by Adaptive Path in partnership with Mozilla Labs. It sets out to define a plausible vision of how technology, the browser, and the Web might evolve in the future by depicting that experience in a variety of real-world contexts.

The release of Aurora is part of the launch of Mozilla Labs’ browser concept series, an ongoing initiative to encourage designers and developers to contribute their own visions of the future of the browser and the Web. Over the next couple of weeks, they’ll be releasing more video segments, as well as background material showing just what went into imagining the future of the Web and translating that into a video.

A simple story that illustrates the forces shaping social media.

The extremely entertaining Mark Pesce presenting at the Next Wave festival.

More of his thinking on the 3.4 billionth phone, his MAD twitter army and a social experience of the China earthquake.

The google killer? Mmm maybe not, but could be interesting. Powerset searches wikipedia and can bring the information to you instead of you to the information… if that makes sense. Watch the demovid.

So Google is giving all homeless people in San Francisco a permanent phone number and voice mail.
Good for giving people a contact number when looking for work.

Maybe it won’t just be all QR codes, these guys (daeminteractive) seem to be going past using barcodes and instead are using MMS and image recognition to create the all important link between the static ad and interactive content… all via the mobile device. THX: PSFK

I read recently that we seem to be increasingly outsourcing parts of our brain. So here is a little digital helper in that process. See a little detail online and think hey I’d like to remember later… offline. Well step back from that post-it-note. Instead, just click on that little beamme.info icon, enter your mob number and voom  that recipe (insert small detail) has just been sent to your phone. No one keeps the number and it’s free for the user. Neat huh? beamme.info
