POPShunter-gatherers in the city? well, gatherers at least The biggest challenge I face in this regard is a husband who grew up in NYC and is very, verrrrry suspicious of anything growing anywhere other than a cultivated garden. "You can't eat that! What is it? You don't know what's on it! What if a dog peed on it?" "Honey, it's rosemary, and it's growing four feet above the ground. I doubt any dog is acrobatic enough to reach it."

POPSBuy.com Offers Garage Sale Facebook App This clip is from TC and it's pulled from a post authored by Michael Arrington. I have to disagree with the assessment here and take issue with his main argument (below). If I have a network of maybe 100 friends on Facebook, or even 10-20 and they are listing their stuff for sale with Buy.com's widget, I might see something I'm interested in while browsing. The transactions don't all begin with the buyer needing or wanting something, they could simply stumble upon a listing and like what they see, therefore creating the "want" to buy it. I can see a large market developing for this type of transaction between friends and "online friends".

POPSMytago tags connects the offline and online worlds This could get interesting, once higher-resolution camera mobiles and fast mobile internet connections become standard. Would be nice, to see it in tourism as well: Think of tagged bulidings, streets, statues,... and getting the info you want about them. I hope, there will be mobile clipping as well then...
