As one of the hot social-location properties, Foursquare has a wealth of information about where you go. Unfortunately, it doesn't really offer many good ways to visualize it. In fact, Foursquare only focuses on providing a text stream of your check-ins. A new app takes that data and puts it on a map. 4mapper , built by John Wiseman , is a very ...

When I first heard about this "Thanksgiving" thing, I thought it sounded like a great idea. We Brits spend a ridiculous amount of time each day giving thanks to strangers - we say thanks to people who hold doors for us, thanks to people who stop their cars to let us cross the road, thanks to waitresses when they give us our bill; even thanks ...

As I reported on Tuesday , a strategy review with which the BBC Trust has charged director-general Mark Thompson with leading seems certain to downsize the BBC’s online heft - and perhaps cut some digital channels, too - in response to commercial rivals’ concern. Here, in two BBC Newsnight interview excerpts, Thompson says: “ ...

The holiday season is in full swing, and that means it's time to share some of the comfort we enjoy year round with those who are a little less fortunate — and just to be nicer to people in general. This year, Yahoo is kicking off a drive called You In? , where it invites users worldwide to share their "purple acts of kindness" (purple has ...

Another voice has been added to the chorus of iPhone developers complaining about Apple's (AAPL) App Store approval process.

I’m not really comfortable making broad technology predictions, but I’ve run across two things recently that perfectly illustrate for me the next generation of the web, which will consist of services that tell us what we want to know precisely when we want to know it.
A few years ago, I swore not to go shopping on Black Friday ever again. So tomorrow, I’ll be relaxing from home while hordes of early-bird shoppers wake early and battle the riff-raff for special, one-day deals. This year, I grabbed a special deal in advance of Black Friday and it arrived yesterday. I snagged Panasonic’s HDC-SD10 ...

Some hippie-dippy British trad-rock Celtic goodness circa 1970 from Fairport Convention on this Thanksgiving Day, 2009 - written by Dave Swarbick and Richard Thompson - somehow seems fitting in the pre-turkey mists of morning. When the stone is grown too...

No gifts, no guilt. Universal, even if it's not celebrated on the same day everywhere. Whenever I sit down at this keyboard, I feel humbled and quite lucky to have the privilege. Every day is Thanksgiving, because without the people we love and depend on, there'd be nothing. Thanks for being here, for making a difference and for doing work that ...
