Having spent quite a lot of the last two years thinking about timelines, Dipity appears to be a fantastic tool for playing with your social activity across a timeline. The site also allows you to view your activity in other ways, including a map view or a flip-book.
Nice…

Ah, Christmas…seems so long ago now. Especially after a working week at LBi. We headed down to Fifehead Magdalen in Dorset to spend some time amongst the cows and horses – and enjoy some fine food along the way. I managed to squeeze in some photography and some guitar amongst other things. Fab…
I had the sudden realisation, the other day, that my current daily routine takes in a number of different statistical feeds – and this set me to thinking that *this* is part of the reason that creating your own content is fun. It’s the sense of audience that gives you more of a perspective on the stuff that you put out there.
So, I check out my Flickr stats on a regular basis, then I check my blog stats, and finally, less frequently, I check out LastFM stats for Inaura, one of the bands I used to play with.
It’s this stuff that is ’sticky’ for me – and I’m not normally obsessed by stuff like this…

Flickr have integrated Picnik’s photo editing functionality so that you can now tweak your pictures inline within the Flickr experience…ok, so if you’re used to using one of the pro tools for doing this kind of work, I’m sure you’ll have your reservations, but for those that want fast and dirty tweaks to their imagery, it’s perfekt!

This is something REALLY special – software that maps images from existing sources (Flickr et al) to geospatial coordinates, and allows you to navigate through real world environments. Check this TED presentation for more.

If you’re not using it already – and you have more than a passing interest in photography – you will definitely find this extension, downloadable via Lifehacker, useful. In a nutshell, it allows you to mouse over any picture on Flickr and easily see the EXIF data (extra non-picture information contained within a digital photograph, such as owner info, focal length info, camera info etc). You can learn loads from checking out other peoples’ picture information…
Also lets you do funky things like load peoples’ pictures into a lovely quilt, like the image above : ) .
