Plancast – Social location planning.

Picture 5

Plancast — a service that lets you share future plans with friends, and view those from others — just got a whole lot more useful today. The company announced its API (application programming interface), which gives developers the ability to use Plancast’s data in their apps, reports the technology blog TechCrunch.

The service is best described as “Foursquare for the future.” Instead of telling people where you are, you can broadcast what you’re going to be doing at any given point in the future. It’s similar to a shared calendar, except it offers up a social graph like Twitter or Foursquare. You have the ability to follow people you’re interested in, and you can also lock down your profile to select readers. Not surprisingly, Plancast is looking to integrate with calendar services like Google Calendar. It also recently added the option to import events from Facebook.

On July 24, participants will have 24 hours to capture a snapshot of their life on camera. One can film anything, from the mundane and human – a family conversation during the morning breakfast rush, a sunrise – or the extraordinary – a wedding, sporting game win, saving a life in an ER, etc.

SyncFu is a tiny widget for your web shop. It aggregates price concerned visitors in order to achieve mutual volume discounts on your offerings, all according to your own settings. The discount grows with the group size, proportionally to your pricing. It’s an incentive based system, and as everyone gets the last price after the deadline you set, all participants virally share your offers with their friends across social networks.

TfL opens its Data doors

Transport for London has announced that it’s lifting all restrictions on the commercial use of its data. The move could fuel an explosion in mobile apps that need access to the datasets, making them more attractive to developers who want to charge for their apps.

Currently, TfL offers up a selection of datasets, including live traffic cameras, Oyster card top-up locations, pier and station locations, cycle hire locations, and riverboat timetables. Some new data has been issued, including live tube travel info and departure boards, and the transport giant also plans to release further information on bus stops, routes, and timetables and schedules before 30 June, 2010.

GoTryitOn

An interesting insight into social opinions.
This site acts as a hub for people wanting opinions of clothing, for example asking for a vote on a dress to wear to a wedding. The main contributors seem to be women, but I did notice men commenting on one ladies dress.
Make your own assumptions, but the social behavior around wanting complete strangers opinions is very interesting.
