This page details the implication of the turn down process for Google Wave. Stage 1: Google Wave is read-only -- January 31, 2012 Mapping the Future of Cities & Education The following is a guest post from Mark Belinsky of Digital Democracy. What does real-time mapping with New York City public school kids look like? Recently, Digital Democracy was invited to work with 120 young people from all 5 boroughs as part of the Department of Education’s “Future Now” program. Having gone through the NY Public School system myself, I jumped at the opportunity to help them innovate. My task was to engage the kids in a conversation about what they’d like to see in the year 2020. Future Now is creating NYC’s Digital Storybook – a citywide youth project about school, community, and dreams.
Crowdsourced Comic Books - Help Fund the 'Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath' and Receive a Free Copy Originally a novella by the godfather of horror H.P. Lovecraft, 'Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath' has received a modern update courtesy of journalist and amateur illustrator Jason Thompson. There's only one problem: a complete run of printed comics is a steep investment, though you could help solve that issue. As with other Kickstarter projects, Thompson hopes to raise $10,000 in order to cover printing fees for his comic book adaptation.

Buzzd Aggregates Check-Ins From Foursquare, Gowalla And Others I We’ve written about the social city and nightlife mobile app, buzzd, which pulls its data from Twitter and other buzzd users, for a bigger picture of the places that are hot in a given location. The startup just released an Android app in December and today is launching a new version of its iPhone and BlackBerry apps that integrates location-based services in the mix. The buzzd network compiles information from its base of over a half-million users, Twitter, and other real-time sources to provide users with activity updates for almost half a million venues across the United States, the U.K. and Canada. You download the app and it will bring up a list of venues close to you that are currently popular based on people talking about them on Twitter and Buzzd. The integration with these services makes a lot of sense for Buzzd, as the app essentially tells you where the most frequented places are within your location.
