If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. Name: Moveable Feast Quick Pitch: Arrange text, photos and videos on a map to create an immersive virtual tour. Genius Idea: A new method of storytelling.

Shoptiques Lets You Shop Boutiques Like a Local The Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. Name: Shoptiques Quick Pitch: Shop local boutiques online. Genius Idea: Brings an offline industry online; lets you shop by neighborhood. It all began with Paris and a shoe. While shopping in France's capital four years ago, Olga Vidisheva stumbled across what she describes as a "tiny, one-location wonder boutique with the friendliest, most stylish owner." Vidisheva says she has wanted to go back to that boutique ever since, but has never been able to. Shoptiques isn't the first business that's attempted to bring the boutique industry online. So what makes Shoptiques different? Shoptiques also invites you to shop differently: that is, like a local. Mobile is also on the roadmap, with an emphasis on bridging the online and offline shopping experience. Image courtesy of iStockphoto/Alija

And, yes, you can share your reviews and images of particular dishes with other users.

Mankind's Greatest Architectural Achievements Since Prehistory Yet another creation has rolled off the powerhouse infographics assembly line over at Pop Chart Lab, and this time, the indefatigable taxonomizers of alcohols and famous quotes have turned their attention to works of architecture. The Schematic of Structures organizes what the designers describe as "90 eminent edifices erected and perfected throughout history." Arranged by height, the infographic lines up some of the greatest works envisioned and built by man since prehistory, from the Neolithic Cairn of Barnenez and the Parthenon to more modern creations like London's Gherkin and the Burj Khalifa. The White House even makes an appearance. Designed in imitation of a blueprint, the infographic is expansive in scope and information (if not extraordinarily innovative in execution). The buildings are presented along a simple grid design, and drawn in two different scales (so as to allow the 2,722-foot-tall Burj Khalifa to appear on the same poster as the 25-foot-tall Stonehenge).

Eric Sadin: «Il est impératif de contenir la puissance du technopouvoir» Ecrivain et philosophe, Eric Sadin analyse les changements induits par la numérisation de notre monde. Après l’ Humanité augmentée. L’administration numérique du monde, paru en 2013, il publie la Vie algorithmique. Critique de la raison numérique, aux éditions l’Echappée. Une charge contre le «technopouvoir» emmené par les Google, Apple, Facebook et autres Amazon, qui capte tous nos faits et gestes via nos smartphones et objets connectés. Dans la Vie algorithmique, vous décrivez un homme assisté dans toutes ses actions par une intelligence ambiante nichée dans les smartphones, les écrans, les murs de la maison. La généralisation d’Internet, à la fin du XXe siècle, a institué «l’âge de l’accès», soit la possibilité de consulter, à distance, un volume infini d’informations numérisées. Vous parlez d’une «extrême rationalisation» des sociétés par le numérique… Ce projet est inscrit dès l’origine de l’informatique. Oui, c’est une bonne image. On sait l’ambition de Google dans ce domaine.
