What we need is YOUR PARTICIPATION to create the DATA that describes our city, Austin, in this new way.<br /><br />IMAGINE... walking down the street in Austin with a hand-held-mobile-device that knows WHERE YOU ARE and can tell you the newest messages coming from the establishments nearby. The prototype is already being created at MIT: <br /><a href="http://museum.mit.edu/mwow/overview1/2006-05-04-overview">MIT Museum Without Walls Project for 2011</a><br />MIT calls this:<br />a new model for cultural exchange --<br />a new means of connecting and building community.<br /><br />IMAGINE... email completely free of spam. With pictures. And calendar of events. And map. And guest book.<br /><br />IMAGINE... free last-minute instant messaging options for your business or organization, like Craigslist.<br /><br />IMAGINE all of this wrapped up in simple, free online tools available to everyone RIGHT NOW.<br /><br />THERE IS A WEB 2.0 AUDIENCE out there, ready to receive your messages. If you're not participating, you're missing the beginning of the GIANT wave of new media and personalization of Web 2.0.<br /><br />I urge you to look into this. You'll learn that your participation is SIMPLE and dramatically TIME EFFICIENT compare to updating old websites or crafting elaborate emails.<br /><br />HOW CAN YOU MAKE THESE MESSAGES? I have instructions for you, for FREE, and you can do this for yourself right now:<br /><a href="http://todayinaustin.com/instructions2.html">http://todayinaustin.com/instructions2.html</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3156010161705905353-7469607991939861799?l=austinfeedculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dPnoreply@blogger.com
