See if you can tell who Foursquare is targeting in it’s first TV Spot
First Google, now Foursquare. Hot on the heels of Google’s first search-related television ad during the Super Bowl, location-based social network-as-game sensation Foursquare
is gearing up to do the same thing tonight on cable network Bravo during the show Sheer Genius from 9 to 10 PM. It’s a 20-second spot in which Foursquare highlights its recently announced partnership with the network. The idea is to show users real-world locations for Bravo’s show.
Now this is hardly a piece of legal or even legal-tech news, except that Foursquare is the embodiment of the casestreaming concept I wrote about in this TechnoLawyer piece over a year ago. Oh, how the times have changed. And now that location-aware apps are all around us, including Twitter of course which got geolocation capabilities last year, we’re all that much closer to being forced into acknowledging colleagues in our vicinity whether we want to or not. I think I just felt a chill run down my spine.

From Reid Trautz, Attorney and friend to Practicehackers everywhere, comes this handy article, which begins:
Here is the short-version of what Reid is talking about:
AppBoxPro. Multi-function apps for iPhone including currency converter, date calculator, translator, etc. $0.99
Bento. Simple, powerful database. Looks like iTunes and is designed to be easy to use. Syncs to desktop. Templates for common tasks included as well. $4.99
Bump. Open the app on iPhone, select how much to share, gently bump with another iPhone, and viola – the information has been shared. $free
Documents to Go (Premium Ed.) Create, edit, and view Word, Excel and PowerPoint’s, plus view PDF’s and other formats. Essential for most every lawyer.
Dragon Dictation. Free, easy-to-use, and accurate voice-recognition on your iPhone. Quick alternative to typing e-mails, texts, tweets, or FB updates.
DropBox. File sharing service providing online storage and access from multiple devices. Get up to 2 gigs of storage for free and 50 gigs for just $10 per month
Google Mobile. Google’s mobile app does much more then find stuff, but the voice search feature is extra cool and easier than typing.
People. Free “White Pages” database and reverse phone # directory.
ScanR Business Center. (See also DocScanner and JotNot) Similar apps may cost less but ScanR is worth the price. Create PDFs using your iPhone camera or a picture.
Skype. You already know what this does. It works great on the iPhone as well as the Mac.
It was only a matter of time before Read/Write/Web began reviewing iPhone apps …
A friend recently admitted a favorite past time of his – watching plane crashes on YouTube. Planes crashing, helicopters twirling out of control, boats sinking – all are fair game. For a lot of people, this has been the story of the iPad over the past few days. While some of us take the higher ground, others revel in off color jokes and nitpicking the different ways the iPad will be Apple’s biggest mistake ever.
TweetFeel, a sentiment analysis tool that uses tweets as its data set, offers us a snapshot of this darker side of the iPad. According to an email from Andres Burgos, the project lead for TweetFeel, the company collected almost a half a million tweets since Steve Jobs took the stage on Wednesday, “cleaned the hell out of them and scored about 40,000″ and found an overall positive sentiment hovering at around 60%. But this isn’t the fun part. Nobody wants to see people gush, so let’s take a look at how that other 40% breaks down.
