• Ceiva Digital Photo Frame – integrates with major photo sites and allows your friends to photo bomb you by sending pictures to the frame
• Bump.com – apparently lets drivers swap chat messages using license plate as a unique handle. I wonder how this is supposed to work.
• Pepsi’s Social Vending System – soda machine with mobile app integration and social features
• Pleo rb robot dinosaur – has lots of sensors built in. I’m going to be an uncle soon so I need to be on the lookout for this sort of thing.
• BitCoin – I really wonder what’s haappening next with theae guys. What if it really is just riding the hype-cycle right now and will take off again one day? Didn’t previously know about the secrecy surrounding its creation.
• Art.sy – Pandora for art. Seems like a neat idea and has got me thinking about other Pandora for ________ ideas.
