Just thought I’d briefly mention this Italian interaction design/theory event. With Adam Greenfield, Bruce Sterling, Nicolas Nova and Ashley Benigno - who I’m proudly working with at HWL - amongst others.

I just found a link to eye-spot, a video upload, control, trim and mixer tool to share creations with your friends. This is the kind of tool which is really good for a good laugh and some creativity. Motorola came up with a similar kind of tool just a few days ago, and although it is limited already uploaded video files and pre-cut scenes, you can still create funky movieclips to send on to your mates.

Join or create clubs (although I have been unable to sign up at the time of writing) and join the new virtual community.

Not sure if everybody is familiar with the term ‘Walled Garden’, but this is what the internet on pretty much every mobile is like. From the early limited internet services like I-mode (correct me if I’m wrong) to today’s mobile internet services provided by Vodafone.
