• Is the Boulder model tenable for Ann Arbor?

  Saw this in Boris Mann‘s FriendFeed (via his Google Reader bookmarks). Comment on Jason Mendelson of Foundry Group (which “funds primarily light-weight, inexpensive software startups”) giving a talk in Ann Arbor. The push-back in the comment interesting insofar as it points to 2.0-bubble-ism and over-eagerness to build on clouds as opposed to “real things.” But then again, one could ask, what are the real things? Isn’t information real, too?

• Where 2.0 Preview – Building the SENSEable City – O’Reilly Radar

  James Turner interviews Andrea Vaccari of MIT’s SENSEable City Lab about using internet and mobile technology data (generated by citizens in their day-to-day lives) to figure out how “digital technologies are evolutionizing the way we live in cities.” (Not sure about turning EVOLUTION into a verb…)
