viNe
This is a little something we (in London/Helsinki) have been working towards over the last 9 months/few years. It’s a landmark project, not only because it has involved the continued and successful collaboration and dedication of a huge team across many disciplines and worlds. But because it is another indication of the way in which what I do is changing for the better.
The best way to describe a viNe is like this: at the touch of a button viNe records everything you do on your mobile (Nseries). Photo’s, video’s, tracks and more to follow (like I said, everything) are (geo)tagged to the location at which they were experienced. That media (or viNe) can then be uploaded, tagged, linked and searched - so it’s dead easy to document and broadcast what you’re up to and what you like - to whoever or wherever you want.
We’ve not only created the site, but the on device application, a widget (right, when update pushes) and a demo animation with the lovely Airside (so watch this space). And this is just the beginning for viNe, the app and site are in early Alpha right now (launched yesterday so buggy), but the potential of this experience is obviously boundless, and it’s already beginning to grab some attention.
This is without doubt the biggest and bestest thing I have ever been involved in, and something about which we are obviously all very, very proud.
I am going to write a bigger piece about it when it’s out of Alpha/Beta and into the open phase, which should be around November.
But for now it’s just Alpha. Oh, and everyone who did it is awesome.

oooooo interesting concept, are you doing some testing on it?
Sounds a bit like an extension to the N95 lifeblog app. Looks like Nathan Cooper is the only user on the website so far
I’m really looking forward to this. I love Sports Tracker and use it daily, but this will be great for when I’m travelling.
One thing I’d like to know is, when you’re involved in something such as this, how do you keep from letting the cat out of the bag?
