Story Wheel | Soundcloudlabs

Big barrier/s, and I was well disappointed when I discovered that I couldn’t just pull in a filthy d&b track – but there is something in there…
Maybe.

Search + Your World
The search algorithm on which Google is built is becoming less relevant. Mobile has brought context to search, and social media has brought friends and recommendations. The old algorithm that delivered authoritative results wasn’t built in a world in which people wanted these newfangled things to influence their queries – and so is becoming redundant. As a result Google is integrating Google+ into Google search so account holders are able to search against both the broader web and their own Google+ social graph.
From Google:‘Search has always brought you information from across the web. Now, search gets better by including photos, posts, and more from you and your friends. When signed in with Google+, you’ll find personal results and profiles of people you know or follow. You can even expand your world by discovering people related to your search.’
It’s a pretty significant blurring of the line between the web as we know it and the web as you and your Circles of friends know it.

Google Maps | Play Your World
Google is rolling out pedestrian-level indoor mapping data for locations such as malls, airports, museums and educational institutions across the US. To promote said mapping they’ve produced this charming Google+ app/game using WebGL and (seemingly) user-location to enable players to roll around the floor-plan maps.

Disco Breaker HTML5
Microsoft Istanbul and Bedük (a famous Turkish pop star (in Turkey)) have teamed up to create the Disco Breaker experience showcasing IE9‘s HTML5 features.
The trailer is Turkish, but I think you’ll get the drift of how the experience will play out.
It certainly looks like a pretty sweet piece of HTML5 action, but I can’t actually tell because I’m not running IE9.
Oh well.
