Remember Shozu… this application that lets you upload your picture directly to your Flickr account ?

Well you should have a look to Merkitys… this apps just lets you store contextual information on the picture you just took! Amazing… still geeky a bit but amazing.

Contextual informations are:

• Locational information
  GPS (with additional Bluetooth GPS device)
  GSM Cell info
  Country
  City
• The bluetooth environment
• Calendar events
• User defined tags
• User defined description

Just published my first test on Flickr. Look at the informations on the side of the picture

More on this later.. I am just going to play with it for some time!

Maybe you noticed that Kaywa people have now their own picture character… Mine can be seen in the right column or on Ichiba with Roger’s. Marco as it on its blog, Raffael on its Skype profile and I am not sure where Vali as his.
Anyway… since blog user are part of the Kaywa community some of them are getting their character. It started with New York City Girl which blogs is just awesome… go and read it (in french sorry)

There was a Women in technology Panel at Lift, I just found out that m-trends is running a “Women in mobile” interview serie… Emily (from Picturephoning, Ringtonia and Textually) is on the stage as #6…
Women in Mobile 06 – Emily Turrettini

Number #5 was Anina and #7 might very well be Régine both @Lift06

Quick note from Emily interview:

Favorite mobile application/service? A text alert service which would remind me to take out the garbage Tuesdays and Fridays. Not available where I live though.

I can not believe it does not exist yet!

Congratulations to the organisers… Talks were interesting and everything went smoothly… maybe too smoothly. I feel like speakers could have been slightly more challenged. Anyway the best part of such event is to get to talk to people from various fields and I am actually wondering how small groups of discussion can be integrated in such conference (in some other words how workshop can be organised within the conference). It was also nice to meet people I read blogs every day.

Topics that came out pretty often is “privacy” and “identity management”. When I see this picture or that one I can not help but thinking this is something I should be much more careful with :-)

Oh and by the way… +1 for the food. Much much better than at “Les blogs” (which was just horrible) the latest conf I have attended.

Ok now I guess I need some time to think about everything I have learned these past two days.

Also TSR is blogging the event on a dedicated blog but maybe more importantly (well ok that a completely biased opinion :-) you can follow it on NanoTV blog which runs on KAYWA
