Foursquare's reliance on street addresses will be its downfall. Gowalla is GPS savvy, and I love that I can create a "spot" that might not even be on a street -- say, a favorite tree within a park, or a lookout point along a trail.<br><br>I reviewed several of these social geolocation services this week, and am happy to see others comparing and thinking about them.<br><br><a href="http://www.hawaiiweblog.com/2009/11/02/geolocation" rel="nofollow">http://www.hawaiiweblog.com/2009/11/02/geolocation</a>hawaiiTue, 03 Nov 2009 22:38:54 -0000http://leoville.com/2009/05/24/22059/#comment-9954751Aloha e Leo!

I'm a social media professional? Has anyone told my boss? I'll make do with geek for now. But I agree, SXSW was worth it.

We have basic analog cable service, and as expected, were not affected.

Find a "Friend of..." item in your FriendFeed stream. Click "Hide." That'll bring up a popup that lets you select other options. That second popup will allow you to hide all "Friend of..." updates.hawaiiTue, 06 Jan 2009 15:58:15 -0000http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2009/01/03/how-i-use-friendfee/#comment-4887833Hiding all "friend of" entries is the number one way I found to get more signal and less noise. I'm sure my friends follow interesting people, but I can pick up those conversations on my own, if they're active enough to "bubble over."

Instead, hundreds of Gmail contacts got invites from me. They at least responded to my complaints, and made more prominent the "opt-out" switch for the scanning step (frankly, I think it should be opt-in... contact scanning is iffy as it is), but it's definitely not ready for prime time.<br><br>Friends with multiple social network profiles have several entries in Spock, and tying them together -- which seems to be the point -- is almost impossible to figure out.hawaiiTue, 10 Jul 2007 22:43:31 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2007/07/08/dont-try-to-use-your-iphone-inside-an-apple-store/#comment-9685196That's surprising. Store policy or corporate policy? Because I've taken lots of pictures inside Apple Stores here in Honolulu.<br><br>And for both the iPhone, and for a recent store grand opening, not only did I take plenty of video inside the store, but the videos I posted online were apparently passed around the internal network.

It makes the iPhone look a little Batman-ey, I admit, but I owe the thing my life after saving my iPhone from a parking lot tumble the day after I bought it.

Hawaii lifecaster here. Great stuff. I haven't worked half as hard on my setup, but I'm still having lots of fun.<br><br>On the 'soundtrack' question, how are you handling commercial music (i.e. from your iPod) and licensing requirements and restrictions (as what we're doing is essentially broadcasting)? I got ribbed while driving around listening to the radio early on, so I've made it a point to keep a playlist of Creative Commons and other "safe" music when lifecasting.<br><br>Fortunately, I'm also a podcaster, and also play the music of some of the indie artists I personally know and who've also given permission to play their stuff.<br><br>It's hard to control ambient audio, from a restaurant jukebox to the MLB game on a nearby pub's TV, and stuff like watching TV or going to the movies is already pretty complicated. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.<br><br>Keep up the great work!hawaiiFri, 22 Jun 2007 20:45:05 -0000
