More niceness from Dopplr:
“We’ve generated what we call the Personal Annual Report for all our users. It’s a unique-to-you PDF of data, visualisations and factoids about your travel in 2008, that we’re delivering over the next week via email to every Dopplr user who travelled in 2008.
To give you an example, we thought we’d show you the Personal Annual Report of someone who’s had a very busy 2008 – President Elect Barack Obama.”
If you’re a frequent traveler who hasn’t tried Dopplr yet, make 2009 the year to give it a go.
I’m a Mac users who’s been desperate to give Photosynth a whirl. It’s always looked absolutely wicked.
Today Microsoft Live Labs got some massive brownie points with the release of their first iPhone app, Seadragon.
Seadragon is the core technology behind Photosynth. It’s designed for zooming smoothly in, out and around photos over the Internet, regardless of bandwidth constraints or image size.
It’s technological trick is to store images in multiple resolutions and deliver only the bits needed to present the view a user wants at any given moment.
Anyway it’s bloody brilliant, make sure you check out the Galaxy and Nebula photography.
Here’s a visualisation from Last.fm:

Sexy loading bars get you off to a good start and as the content builds the immersive environment should fill up with plenty of interesting goodies. Design and build by de-construct.
