Geotags for iPhone is a good start


Geotags is a free map-based application for the iPhone. Its purpose is to keep a geographic diary of sorts, letting you mark maps with tagged information you'll want to explore again.

You can geotag your car so you can find it again, or a favorite hunting location, or a cave. I tested the app by recording some favorite spots in a nearby state park that were good photographic locations.

It's a bit like Places in iPhoto, but it is portable. You can add photos to geotags, or an audio clip (2 minutes max recording time for each clip) that describes it, and of course some written notes.

Once you have built up a database of tags, it can all be exported to Google Earth for sharing with friends, or just to use yourself.

Thanks to TUAW for the above!

Sea of Thought



Sea of Thought is a tool we've developed that searches blogs, twitter and various other sources for the words 'I think'. View by user defined searches, by date or simply live thoughts in four different views.

'Sea Scape' submerges you in an ocean of thought. Dive, swim and explore the depths within. 'Globe View' shows the world’s thoughts mapped onto a 3D globe. 'Map View' shows thoughts on a 2D map. 'Time Tunnel' allows the user to travel through time and find out who was thinking what, and when!

It was originally released to our clients as a xmas play thing, but is now in the public domain for all to enjoy!
