Re: MySkyStatus

Hi,

how cool and simple is that? This is a good example for implicit  
status updates. We often tend to forget that today's Twitter and FB  
updates are all explicitly fired by ourselves. In the future, personal  
status updates will be intermixed with implicit updates, e.g. Sören's  
examples, health or location data, from which further privacy issues  
occur. Another example for implicit updates is the sensor data of the  
Internet of Things trend ReadWriteWeb covered a lot this year [1]: the  
twittering house (or cat door). Very inspiring is Stephan Baumann's  
Urbansync project [2] (EU COST ACTION SID (Sonic Interaction Design))  
which tracks multimodal sensor data in parallel.
