Social Networking with Cell Phones
This article was about how cell phones can now allow you to be a part of more social networking.
GyPSii, a social network made specifically for mobile phones will offer a location-based search for people, places, and events. This “real time location-based element” adds a new twist to the term social networking. Your cell phone will be able to record where you are and what you are doing and make it available for those in your network. You will be able to receive maps and directions and find friends who are nearby and popular places to go.You can download this software for free at their website.

Top 50 Social Sites for businesses
I found the article on the 50 Social Sites that every business should be involved with was helpful. It talks about how the internet provides powerful tools and networking capabilities that can be useful to companies. They allow your company to make a presence online and to reach more potential customers, business partners and employees.
The sites are divided into a few different categories: Job sites, General Social Media sites, Niche Social Media sites, Professional Networking sites and Social Media/Social Bookmarking sites.
A few of the tops sites include: Reddit, Digg, Del.icio.us, LinkIn, Ecademy and Careerbuilder.com.

Interactive barcodes in newspaper ads
This article is about interactive barcodes.
There is a new offering from google that allows you to purchase advertisements with special barcodes. These barcodes have to be decoded and the message will give you a website address. This form of advertisement has already taken off in Japan.
To decode these barcodes, you will have to have a decoding software that allows you to see the hidden message. This will help advertisers measure response to their ads. Right now the software is only on about 1% of phones, but in the future more phones will have this feature. Right now this method will not be utilized until it is further developed.

NASA hopes this virtual space game would help find the future scientists and engineers needed for the future. They already own an island on Second Life. They hope that one day the public will be able to take part in virtual missions through it. NASA has asked interested organizations to respond by the middle of February so they can start developing the platform.
