“SeeSaw Networks, the leading aggregator of inventory across more than 40 digital out-of-home networks, announced the addition of four new network affiliates. In addition, the media company unveiled an upgrade to its Web-based planning platform, SeeSaw Ads.com, that includes more precise marketing tools.”

“Verizon’s chief technology officer, Dick Lynch, unexpectedly told a crowd at the Cisco C-Scape conference on Tuesday that his firm expected to have LTE in service by “this time next year.” A Verizon spokesperson confirmed that Snyder made these remarks, but had no additional information to provide. “

“There’s been a recent update to TiVo boxes, enabling two famous and long-rumored features: Netflix support and Ads displayed while pausing/fast-forwarding. Both were first discussed on this site four years ago and it wasn’t until this week that both finally became available for TiVo users.”

I can’t tell if this is cool.

…or a portal.

Brilliantly horrifying.

“Gastro is a Google Maps mashup of the NSW Food Authority’s name-and-shame lists.”

Eat and Drink in 4000 :-)

“However, from a design point of view, there’s definite merit in removing any extraneous elements and devices to provide as clean and uncomplicated interface as possible. The outcome is a tendency towards simplicity – the same general goal as Popper – although the driver was distinctly different.”
