I think I’m missing something. In a real “local” disaster: a) isn’t there a good chance you’ll lose the internet service on which depends and b) possibly (preferably) not be hanging out with a machine capable of running this massive, hard-drive eating “dashboard”?

Funny, as most disasters I am facing are normally related to MS products…

I think its really interesting how from enterprises/gov’t agencies to individual consumers, its clear that visualization (Geo-tagging) is going to be a part of our lives. What Vine is doing is very cool for when a disaster hits – but until then people want to see their friends (all their friends/even Mac users) in their network – IRL Connect (www.irlconnect.com) is a visual/presence-based network that allows you to integrate with social networks (facebook/twitter/mobile social networks) so you can see your friends on the map (with Wi-Fi positioning on Google maps or Google Street View) but you can also have conversation and see and post content (geo-tagged on the map). There are similarities between IRL Connect and Vine (like Greg Sterling points out in his post today http://gesterling.wordpress.co.....vate-beta/) but IRL Connect let’s all geotagged content, conversations and social networks flow in and out of the platform, allowing the user to see the virtual world around him/her.

[...] Think of it as Facebook for the people you actually know and like, those whose health and safety you’d worry about in a natural disaster. It’s called Microsoft Vine and it’s not so much as social network as it is a “societal” one – or at least Redmond likes to bill it as such. Go to Source [...]
