Meaning / flickr / GPS / series 60 / ooh lovely

I met Mika Raento at the PLAN workshop and I loved his application ContextFlickr immediately – it finds information near your phone – like bluetooth device ids, cellids and GPS coordinates if you have a bluetooth GPS like me (since yesterday :-) and uploads them with your picture to flickr, as tags. So you get a lot of cool ways of grouping your photos, automatic GPS tags for use with geobloggers, georss and WorldKit etc.
Anyway, he’s got a shiny new version called “Merkitys-Meaning”. It works lovely. And (like Shozu) saves you money if you’re an inveterate moblogger like me and were previously using MMS. It’s GPLed. It’s ace. Try it!
p.s. tripletags!

  1. With all of this information available, maybe it’s time to start thinking of adding a term to FOAF (or other vocabular) for mapping a bluetooth ID to a person.
    BlueFOAF already does something like this, using http://usefulinc.com/ns/bluetooth/bdaddr, but the term isn’t defined anywhere…
