Web 2.0 Website – Memorandum

I took a look at this site – www.memorandum.com, not so much for the content, but more to see what delivery of content could be achieved through this service.

The Memorandum website monitors the activity in the “blogosphere “and appears to point out the most important posts of the day. The growth of the rivers of information we’re being subjected to in the modern world needs tools that effectively help us cope with it. Blog filters are just one key example of what the future holds for us. Not sure who is in control of the content or whether we should be concerned about that (what if Memorandum gets bought out by Murdoch? Aarrrgh!).

The content is focused on US Politics and technology, but sites using the same technology and approch could easily be used for other subject matter, music, art, digital media?

Fully Immersive Interactive Gaming Experience

As discussed in the comments of the Second Life topic, I found some videos I felt belonged here.

Will interactive games ever be so real that they could replace the real life experience? As mentioned – we have controllers that make racing sims more real, but here, the experience of a racing sim has become even more immersive with a full motion racing seat to simulate G-Forces like this: -

This one is awesome, it looks like you really need a seatbelt, especially at the end.

I gotta get me one of those!
