Cabspotting geolocation project in San Francisco

Emergent Chaos flags the live launch of the Cabspotting project, which tracks GPS information for Yellow Cabs traveling around San Francisco and uses them to create maps and other geo-centric Web experiences. Nice example of how real-world information can be made to collide (sorry) with Internet-based technologies so as to create a new layer of information. This in and of itself isn’t so remarkable, but what inevitably happens is that this kind of geographical information gets combined with the collaborative forces of the Web 2.0 environment into something that will enhance what we’re able to do both on- and offline. That’s 3pointD at work.
