noticings : the game of noticing things around you
Noticings are interesting things that you stumble across when out and about. For example: perplexing pavement markings, a discarded photo, and a ceramic space invader are all noticings. Players are awarded points for things like spotting the first thing in a neighbourhood, or noticing something every day for a week. | source : noticin.gs

Les médias géolocalisés: Une révolution de notre rapport aux autres et à notre environnement ? - Nicolas NOVA, FYP editions, 2009 - Google books
Dans toutes les conversations distantes, la question " t'es où ? " est aussi importante que la raison de l'appel. Mais très vite, d'autres questions apparaissent : " Où suis-je exactement ? Qu'est ce qu'il y a à proximité ? Qui ? " La localisation, et ce que l'on appelle désormais les médias géolocalisés, sont devenus un enjeu majeur, à la fois technologique, économique, et même social. Outils de repérages dans l'espace, géoréférencement de photographies, sites communautaires mobiles, informations localisées en situation de mobilité, pratiques artistiques, les médias géolocalisés proposent tout un éventail de nouvelles applications basées sur le géopositionnement des utilisateurs. L'espace physique s'enrichit d'une " couche numérique " offrant des manières inédites de créer ou de faire circuler des contenus et des formes de sociabilité originales. Mais si les médias géolocalisés provoquent des attentes démesurées, ils suscitent aussi des peurs. | source : books.google.fr

The Latest News Headlines—Your Vote Counts | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)
PEJ took a snapshot of coverage from the week of June 24 to June 29, 2007, on three sites that offer user-driven news agendas: Digg, Del.icio.us and Reddit. In addition, the Project studied Yahoo News, an outlet that offers an editor-based news page and three different lists of user-ranked news: Most Recommended, Most Viewed, and Most Emailed. These sites were then compared with the news agenda found in the 48 mainstream news outlets contained in PEJ’s News Coverage Index. | source : www.journalism.org

How to: Putting your stories on a map | News | guardian.co.uk
Yes. In May, Yahoo introduced their Placemaker "geo-enrichment" platform, which is a clever way to say that it analyses text and extracts places. It generates data that can then easily map places in your blog posts. Better yet, the service is currently free although Yahoo might provide a commercial service in the future. However, when it was announced, Gary Gale, Head of UK Engineering, Yahoo! Geo Technologies, said, "we want to ensure that the service remains free, open and available." | source : www.guardian.co.uk

EveryBlock's Release Invites Coding Lessons, Applications
Derek Willis, who works for the interactive news technology group at The New York Times, and who worked with Holovaty at The Washington Post, says this is the beauty of Holovaty's theory of programming. "One of his philosophies is to have things that are useful in and of themselves, not just tied to a particular program. The code to extract addresses from blocks of text isn't buried in a pile of code." Less than 24 hours after the code was released, someone has taken the code that pulls out the address information from text (like a newspaper story), created a little utility, and placed it on a Google application server. | source : www.poynter.org
