Google Maps Street view

Making my world 3d again, giving it perspective.
Really nice, I’m gonna hijack that SUV which is parked in front of that building!

And this is EveryScape (google-street-view-alike):
“EveryScape is the only place you can discover your everyday world, your way. Today, you can check out Union Square, San Francisco as the first city to be scaped. You can check out restaurants, hotels, go shopping, drive by homes. You can see what other people are saying and share your comments as you stroll down the street.”

Something similar is available to the Dutch: Go to Funda.nl, find a house for sale in your neighbourhood and go to the “Buurt”-tab. Left to the map there’s a 360degree panoramaview-possibility to look around on that specific location.

ClipBOX presentatie

robinbos — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:23:46 +0000

Vandaag hebben Geoffrie Hoiting en ik ClipBOX aan het grote publiek geshowed. Menigeen was onder de indruk. Zo wilde ook de gehele minor overstappen op Ajax, heel frappant! De presentatie ging oke, was goed voorbereid (naar zeggen van Rene en Raymond). Wel kregen we te horen dat we er af en toe bijstonden als beveiligings-kerels, maarja wat wil je ook; zo’n perfect half-af product moet goed beveiligd worden, zodat niemand de source ript.

De overige presentaties waren leuk en interessant om bij te wonen. Hierover zal ik verder niet uitwijden, dat morgen de desbetreffende personen lekker zelf doen op hun eigen blogs.
PS: Volgens mij is de interesse in de RIA-blogs nihil, maar toch…

Hierbij het presentatie-materiaal wat Geoffrie en ik gebruikt hebben:

Hierbij wil ik graag al mijn fans, klasgenoten, lerar.. oh nee die waren er niet, aanhangers, familie, vrienden, Geartjan Meijer, Geoffrie Hoiting en Eelco Wiersma bedanken voor de mentale steun die ik tijdens afgelopen minor gehad heb. Met de laatste drie heb ik komende vrijdag (2 februari 2007) nog een assessment.

En tot slot nog een link waarop een leuk gedesignde presentatie staat. Zo’n soort gelijke presentatie hadden wij ook, maar heeft m’n hond opgegeten, die we niet hebben.. helaas.

Member characterisation of a Social Network

robinbos — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 10:05:38 +0000

Why do people sign-up for a community? Here are the main reasons:

Fame is important
They are willing to share personal (confidential/sensitive) information
Have no problem being critical about other people on the net
Think organisations have to communicate ‘openly’

Both the first and the third statement are interesting towards our project: People want to be famous around the world > Competitions
Have no problem being critical about other people on the net > Musician should face the truth, if a lot of people say a band or singer sucks (commenting) they know what to improve. (kick the singer out of the band ;))

The border of social networking

robinbos — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 07:48:15 +0000

78% of the people who joins a social-networking site joins it for meeting people they either know or want to know. 47% joins them because they want to entertain themselfs, and 23% joins because they want to lighten their harts.

The average time of a visit on MySpace is 29 minutes (9 hours a month total)! Youtube follows up with 17 minutes. Which means people see about 17/3=5 videos each visit.
