Contxts: SMS Business Cards
(11 March 2009) - While old-fashioned business cards have their charm, it's a little surprising that a digital service like Contxts, an SMS-enabled way to share contact info, hasn't come along sooner. After entering info online, users can send their "text card" to mobile phones (or someone can request it) by texting the preset Contxt number. The new contact then receives the info and they're entered into a...

Veer Ideas
(19 June 2008) - When Van Gogh dreamed of a utopian community of artists in the south of France, he probably wasn't thinking of the online possibilities. Fortunately for us (over 100 years after the painter's vision), there's Veer Ideas, a social networking site where creatives and design lovers can create original content and connect with each other. It's a creative playground defined by each participant as they...

70 Unique Business Cards
(04 June 2008) - As we continue to fiddle with our own business cards, it was nice to come across a comprehensive list of 70 original and clever designs. The site features a range of different shapes, sizes and forms, but my favorites are ones that have some sort of interactive or playful feature, like the pull-tab (above left) and scratch-off (below left). Obviously, the most important objective...

Jango: Social Internet Radio
(02 November 2007) - Imagine an online social network that provides free, on-demand online music but without the legal anxiety of peer-to-peer networks. More interactive than conventional internet radio, though not as gratifying as Napster was in its glory days, Jango is a New York City-based music site with a large database of songs and artists and is instantly addictive. Now in its beta launch, there's a waiting...

SNIF Petworking
(21 March 2005) - SNIF, or Social Networking in Fur, is a project from John Maeda's Physical Language Workshop at the MIT Media Lab. The idea is built on the age old notion of petworking-- meeting people through your pets. In their own words: "SNIF presents a hardware/software architecture that aims to capture pet social networks and other pet-related information as pets and their owners explore their communities."...

Flickr Graph
(14 February 2005) - The best online photo management and sharing solution just got a hell of a lot better thanks to Marcos Weskamp and his application Flickr Graph. It produces instant online graphing of any Flickr relationships and allows you to explore all these social connections by username or e-mail. A classic attraction-repulsion algorithm is used for the graphs. Double click the names to see their photos,...

Dodgeball
(07 December 2003) - Dennis Crowley and Alex Rainert have launched Dodgeball 3.0, a location based mobile messaging solution for New Yorkers. Dodgeball has three core features: Guide, Circles, and Scout. Guide is just for finding and rating places, Circles and Scout are much more interesting because they are community based. Circles is ìI am here. Where are you?î It gives you the mailing list pattern for location: group...

Urban Tapestries
(16 November 2003) - I've been thinking about, and looking forward to this for years. I consider it the digital, indexed equivalent to the writing on public bathroom walls... A sort of spatial bookmarking. This project, based in London, takes it one step closer to reality. Urban Tapestries allows users to author their own virtual annotations of the city, enabling a communityís collective memory to grow organically, allowing ordinary...
