YouTube. Pretty cool. So Gib Olander could put together a tour of Seattle dive bars and instantly broadcast. Coming down the pike: “street-side quality” 3D models of street views. We are looking at an external view of a movie theater. It looks sort of what Main Street would look like if Pixar did it. They can dynamically add movie times, ticket purchase, ads, etc. Mobile: Real time location based search is the killer app. If I am a restaurant I can broadcast a promotion that hits people walking by my place. It needs to be automated so
that it does not require a lot of work by a business. Ok, Asia Mobile Number List
this is cool. They are working on adding “smart gesture recognition” to the phone. Think of your phone as a Wii controller so camera mode you can use a gesture to zoom or pan, etc. Microsoft wants Virtual Earth to be the platform that other companies build there businesses on. Showing examples of RedFin, FedEx, City of Miami, Washington State Tourism, Yellowpages.com, the Harley Davidson Ride Planner. Performance is still an issue but Microsoft is betting that performance will improve exponentially over the next couple of years. I am wondering once the fun of trying these types of tools out how practical they will be in helping users accomplish their

tasks. Who knows? It’s great that there are companies out there that can afford to make these huge bets to develop these amazing technologies. Very cool stuff.
