One Number: What about SMS?

[ Alec Saunders .LOG -- An explosive mix of VoIP, Technology, Wine, and Politics] Not possible using the VoIP one-number service he implemented on Asterisk. He also writes about using the Plazes API to determine location for call routing, which is something I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Do we realy need these?

[It looks obvious] However it seems that they decided to jump into the Web 2.0 water with a new service in which you the user going to rate businesses and intuit will make fortune. I thought that craiglist and Google base offering the same?

Amazon tag-soup and user wishlists

[High Earth Orbit] While doing a little Christmas and deal perusing, somehow in my “webpage-peripheral” vision I noticed a change to the Amazon layout. They are now sporting, of all things, tags. Supposedly the idea being you can tag items by people you are shopping for. Perhaps, ala del.icio.us you could tag tobuy or toshoparoundfor.

Yahoo! Maps severe, and odd, restriction

[High Earth Orbit] Maps APIs, provided that such location data is not based on real-time (i.e., less than 6 hours) GPS or any other real-time location sensing device, the GPS or location sensing device that derives the location data cannot automatically (i.e. without human intervention) provide the end user’s location, and any such location data must be uploaded by an end-user (and not you) to the Yahoo!

Plazes, a 100 day review

[Vacuum - Edward Vielmetti in Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104] Fortunately, Plazes is pretty easy to opt out of on an instance by instance basis, and you have to have your laptop connected to be findable. I often want that to happen when I'm out and about somewhere away from home.

On Plazes and Drupal

[I have no words to say, on this slow and useless day] I wrote a Drupal module last week that makes a connection possible between your account of a Drupal site and your Plazes account. It can even show a Google Map of the plaze where you currently are in your profile.See a demonstration of it here.

SBC Freedomlink, a non-starter at Caribou Coffee

[Vacuum - Edward Vielmetti in Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104] I wanted to be on the net this afternoon, and SBC has a wifi service that's inexpensive ($1.99/mo) if you are a DSL subscriber. But you can't sign up for that service from the cafe's connection - it only connects you in to the $19.95/mo option.

When local goes mobile

[WeBreakStuff] It seems like the prediction of the geolocation world of IT blending into our real-lives was spot on. Now google’s in our cellphones, and we have to wonder what the next step of integration will be - hopefully globalization, because GLM is US only for now and I could certainly make use of it here in Europe.

Quick Tip: Use Google hack to find Google Earth KML files

[Mark McLaren's Weblog] What I mean by that is that Google cannot currently make sense of the contents of a KMZ file because it is binary. Whereas since KML is a text format, Google will actually search the files contents.
