The Web 2.0 Identity

Web 2.0 is offering many opportunities which obviously make things easier, faster and more precise. But they also require a lot of supervision in order not to get out of control.

When i spent the evening integrating the Google Map I drew earlier, I started to imagine more and more possibilities that Web 2.0 has to offer.

A little Example:
I got a new cell phone, which has a GPS receiver that can put GeoTags into every Image I record on the integrated camera. Now after I have uploaded the Pictures on a Service like Flickr or Picasa, I will be able to link the Map into that Album and display the Images in my Google Map at the coordinates where they were taken. Addtionally I could keep gps-tracking my movements and Upload those coordinates as well. Now a map is drawn that literally follows my footsteps and even clarifies every now and then by putting up a photo of the szene.

What I can't understand is, who the hell is using all that stuff..? I consider myself kind of a geek, and I have to admit that I sometimes have a hard time to figure out reasonable utilizations for all the applications that are offered.

Alright, I wanted to blog and I will blog! And give myself over to feeling like Jason Bourne (guess what, I will implement the GeoTag-pictures-of-the-route thing soon). So i can be tracked with satellite supported imagery for the duration of my journey. I'll see that as an experiment for a limited period of time.
