Historically, sex related-keywords increase (dramatically) the
click-through-rate of the Fridays thing/k's.
But there is a City. It's just Friday Thing/k and the
city this time.
Our first city today is Toronto. And
our first topic is screens.
At times it seems that the entire world has become a screen.
iPod, iTouch, iPhone, Plasma TV… these screens have become the
21st century icons in their own right.
The 'screen icon' has begun to change our interaction with the
physical world. The following thing/k demonstrates how a physical
space can become digital.
In 2008 a group called Project
Blinkenlights turned the Toronto City Hall into a giant
interactive screen. Fantastic. Watch the video.
The second city is Monopoly city.
Hasbro, the company behind Monopoly, just made a new Monopoly
game at MonopolyCityStreets.com. The game was
launched yesterday.
It uses Google Maps as the game board. The goal is simple. Play
to beat your friends and the world to become the richest property
magnate in existence.
In addition, the game uses Google SketchUp to create 3D
buildings. Check it
out.
