AURA

Allows populations using mobile devices to collectively author and access annotations on physical objects.


Social Location Annotation Mobile (SLAM).

The core concept behind Slam is a “Slam”, a group of people with whom you can exchange messages and photos. When you send a message in Slam, it is automatically sent to everyone in the group to which you sent it. For smartphone users that have the Slam client installed, their phone will buzz and they will have an indication on their phone’s home screen that there is a new message. For SMS users, they will receive the message as an SMS from the Slam server. Like smartphone users, SMS users can be members of multiple slam groups. SMS users will send / receive messages to a different phone number for each slam group they a member of.

Netscan

The Netscan System provides detailed reports on the activity of Usenet newsgroups, the authors who participate in them, and the conversation threads that emerge from their activity. Using the Netscan tool users can get reports about any newsgroup for any day, week, month, quarter, or year, since September 1999.

 
SNARF, the Social Network and Relationship Finder, from Microsoft Research

SNARF was built around the notion that social network information that is already available to the computer system can be usefully reflected to the user. For example, a message from a manager might be seen differently than a message from a stranger. SNARF applies this idea to email triage, handling the flow of messages when time is short and mail is long.
The SNARF UI is designed to provide a quick overview of unread mail, organized by its importance. The UI shows a series of different panes with unread mail in them and each pane shows a list of message authors. Clicking on a name shows all messages involving that person.
