Viewzi
Viewzi is a whole new way to experience search. Instead of one big list, you get nice visual Views tailored for the content you are looking for
It’s all about Views. We think there are better ways to present information than in a simple list. We start with specific topics or search terms and ask: “Is there a better way to present this data?” The result? Dozens of new, unique ‘views’, or ways to look at information, each custom-tailored for that content. It’s the right data, presented in the right way.

ONE WEEK OF MY LIFE
ONE WEEK OF MY LIFE auf Flickr - Fotosharing!: "I had to record every single thing I did for a week straight, take all that data and create an information design poster, all in 2 weeks. This is the first, near final draft of it. I decided to chart my stress levels using nerves as a visual device. As you can see, the weekend was relatively calm, but as soon as school hit I lost my mind."

Aza Raskin - Ubiquity
Ubiquity is something like a command line, but also used to collect new ideas concerning the user-interface. It means experimenting, moving towards a language-orientated interface.
Mobile users want more interactive social networking experience on the move - Colibria
Push-updates and single log-in access across multiple sites are key to the future success of mobile social networking
Research launched today by Colibria has revealed that mobile users want social networking services pushed straight to their mobile, making the experience more interactive and allowing them to communicate with all of their social networks from one single access point[1]. The survey of 2,000 online respondents in Great Britain found that 39% of 18-45 year olds believe that if updates were pushed directly to their device, it would greatly improve their experience of social networks via mobile.

SIOC Winners: Forum Activity Graph
Website: http://bigasterisk.com/boardsie/
Referenzsite: http://boards.ie/
Description:
Third prize was awarded to the “Forum Activity Graph” by Drew Perttula from California. This entry was a visualisation showing the popularity of forums on boards.ie as represented by coloured rivers of information, which were then rendered and displayed using Google Maps.
The image above is a stacked bar graph showing the popularity of the forums on the boards.ie bulletin board site. Each stripe is a forum on the site, and its height shows the number of posts in that forum over time.
For example, the thick green stripe in the middle shows the popularity of the 'After Hours' forum, which has been the most popular forum for several years.
SIOC Winners: Sioc.me
Website: http://sioc.me/
Demoversion: go.sioc.me.
Description:
The top winning submission was entitled “SIOC.ME: A Real-Time Interactive Visualisation of boards.ie Semantic Data within a 3-D Space”. The entry illustrates how 3-D visualisations may be harnessed to not only provide an interactive means of presenting or browsing data but also to create useful data analysis tools, especially for manipulating the “semantic” (meaningful) data from online communities and social networking sites. The entry was submitted by Darren Geraghty, a user interface and interaction designer, and it was praised by the judges for the huge amount of effort that went into creating it. A video of the application may be viewed here and a demonstration of the tool can be seen at go.sioc.me.
SIOC Data Competition Finalists
The winners of the SIOC data competition have been announced. The competition ran from September to October 2008, and the brief was to produce an interesting creation based on a data set of discussion posts reflecting ten years of Irish online life from boards.ie, Ireland’s largest community website. The competition had about sixty registrants and there were eight final submissions of very high quality.
Winners:
1. SIOC.ME by Darren Geraghty
2. Boardsview by Stephen Dolan of Trinity College Dublin
3. Forum Activity Graph by Drew Perttula
Other final submissions included:

Other final submissions included:
- “Forum Map Demonstration” by Tristan Webb and Ian Dickinson of HP Labs Bristol, a demonstration of self-organising maps applied to an information navigation problem in a big community site
- “WebThere: Semantic APML Profiles” by Brian MacKay from Pennsylvania, a service for creating and maintaining profiles of user interests and attention preferences in social websites
- “Find Something Interesting” by ITT Dublin’s Alexandra Roshchina and Aleksey Kharkov, an application to provide recommendations of the most interesting posts and threads based on interest-matching and graph-mining techniques,
- “ChartBoards” by Martin Harrigan of TCD, a tool for examining community trends via term frequencies, and
- “Visualising the boards.ie Community Culture with Charts” by Eoin McLoughlin of TCD, where various graph types were used to simplify the huge amount of available community data to something that could allow someone to easily grasp its size and depth.
MultiTouch
MultiTouch provides bleeding edge technology that enables the construction of large multi-touch displays, which can be either LCD or projection based. Our technology has been designed from the ground up to scale from as small as a laptop display and right up to and beyond huge displays measuring 20m (66 feet) across. It is also the first multi-touch technology, which not only scales so large but also works in almost all conditions from daylight through to complete darkness, even if the users are wearing gloves.MultiTouch

Bulletflight
The next killer app:
"A ballistic computer designed to provide quick solutions in the field"
Knights Armament Company’s Bullet Flight for iPhone is an application that takes all the guesswork out of sniping your opposition. This isn’t a video game, but an application that can improve your shooting accuracy with your favorite rifle.
Shooting at long-distance targets is a lot harder than it appears. There’s lots of math involved and carrying a notebook in the battlefield is just too cumbersome.

Multimedia mirror for mornings
Multimedia mirror for mornings - Core77: "Buratti & Battiston Architects took note of four things we're bound to look at or refer to when we first get up in the morning--a clock, the weather, a TV or radio, and our reflection--and combined these into a single object. Their Hi Mirror is a multimedia wall piece produced by Italy's Valli Arredobagno; unfortunately the company's website is not up yet, so details on the device are slim."

Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality, Mixed, software, product, systems, solutions, consulting, applications, presentation: Viewer:
"The Unifeye Viewer lets you extend your Internet presence with functionality for displaying 3D products in your customers' real-world environments. And it couldn't be simpler: 3D objects are integrated interactively into a photo of the customer's own environment, perfectly scaled and correctly positioned. Customers thus only need a few clicks to place new furniture in their own home, for example, to see if everything fits. This increases customer interest - and also the likelihood of a purchase."
