iPhone makes a start in the field of intelligent object recognition. Citation from Mashable: “A patent called ID App does just that; it recognizes an object based on visuals (through the iPhone’s camera), a RFID reader or through GPS, and then fetches the data from related databases. I like to imagine all this happening in real-time, with a layer of visual information superimposed on the actual camera image, but in the beginning it’ll probably just take you to a related Wikipedia (Wikipedia) page. Still, it’s a start.”

Some time ago it was just a joke:

I got angry today once again. I got angry too often. Mashable added a post about Susan Boyle’s final performance in Britains Got Talent 2009.  A post had no cultural, social or at least (!) internet networking analysis. As I understand, It was anounced just for fun, just for tags, just to be along with the “fresh” information. Be patient, and watch the video to see how is it fresh. I won’t embed Susan’s video to our blog.

People themselves make the phenomenon out of nothing. Not PR or promotion companies. While people talk – phenomenon exists. People stop gossiping – phenomenon dies. Mashable is still concerned.

“All That’s New on the Web” – the word “all” is one of the worst words talking about any business. Not all things are really topical, not all things are really important, not all things have to be discussed.

Stweet is a wonderful mashup of Google Street View and Twitter. You may follow tweets choosing a street from different towns. Pete Cashmore from Mashabe asked a good question: “Do I want the world to know what street I’m on?“. Despite any doubts the idea is very interesting.
