“The Secret Powers of Time” // A very engaging presentation with what seems to be no resolution. Did anyone else see a resolution in this video?

I am really impressed by this app. The integration with Twitter adds a whole new way for me to access great content. At first I was shocked to see a big team working on this, but as I dug into this app I realized they’ve got a big vision and powerful technology for changing how we read content from the web.

Its a FREE app to boot…

Geofences On Mobile Devices, by Location Labs

This youtube video by Location Labs gives and excellent overview of how people can trigger actions like alerts in mobile apps simply by walking into a new neighborhood or driving within a quarter mile of a gas station.   The technical term for this is geofencing.

So if you needed gas and had a turn-by-turn navigation program with geofencing support running on your device you could instantly see the best prices from stations within your area and someday even negotiate for a price based on whats left in your tank. 

See the win-win situation here?  The gas station gets your business and you get a good price.  Sounds powerful.

This is another must try. Download Junaio from the App Store and follow the directions in the video above.

This video is RUBBISH. I have to ding the creatives on this one. A girl drawing things on a mirror?! The stuff that really matters is when there is useful and usable content displayed (which is hardly shown). Though the video is kind of long, and useless, this is a very cool new technology coming down the pipeline. 

Oh the possibilities… Marker-less Augmented Reality.
