R/W/W: How To Turn Your iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot By Sarah Perez (May 5)

Feel like hacking your phone today? If you’ve got about 10 minutes to spare, you can turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot using a combination of the latest “jailbreaking” software and an app called MyWi. The app takes your iPhone’s 3G data connection and shares it out so other computers can connect to it as if it’s just another Wi-Fi network. You can even share your 3G connection with your iPad, if you’d like. <<Read the Article>>

Path.io: a list of … lists

According to Read/Write/Web, stealth startup Path.io describes itself as a website that “facilitates the creation, sharing and correlation of lists.” So … a list of lists, apparently. Sounds dull, but if you look at the screenshot below you’ll notice that is has a kind of Craigslist/37Signals/Flickr vibe. Very minimalist and (hopefully) user-friendly. for lawyers it could still be quite useful – and God knows we can use all the innovation we can get. I for one would be willing to try it immediately, and I’ll share my views when I do. Until then, enjoy this screen shot.

You know you have a following when …

iPhone App Aggregators Compared

… websites that aggregate 3rd-party applications compete for your favor. Case in point,  the following 5 iPhone app aggregators are featured in this post on RWW

Chorus
AppsFire
Yappler
Appolicious
App Genius

This is where survival of the fittest takes on a whole new meaning. Even the folks at Read/Write/Web aren’t sure which one is the best of the best. Now, if only our industry inspired such creative aggregation, maybe someone would have a shot at unseating the Legal Research Duopoly that rules our lives.

Hey, a guy can dream …

Up and Comers from the Real-Time Web Summit

 real-time-web

Another day another buzzword. Today it’s the real-time web - one in a series of recent developments making the web more useful. Now the web

  • travels with our handheld devices (mobile web)
  • alerts us when something happens (web of things)
  • keeps us informed as things happen (real-time web)

Much high-quality writing about this comes from Read/Write/Web, host of the Real-Time Web Summit going on right now. Here are some of the companies they’ve featured thus far:

While the legal applications for these developments are virtually limitless, even day-to-day applications are intriguing.  At last my refrigerator can call, IM, or e-mail with a reminder to go grocery shopping; or it may just transmit a pre-programmed list to the store based on the fridge’s lastest contents (adjusted for plans to have the neighbors over). Events that I upload from my phone to my calendar are communicated to the refigerator which can remind me to buy party supplies, etc. The list goes on and on.

Now if you don’t mind I’m going to tell my house to raise the room temperature in time for my arrival this evening.
