FearSquare


via ReadWriteWeb


Welcome to FearSquare! FearSquare is an application which allows FourSquare users in the UK to easily see the official crime statistics for the places where you 'check-in'. The intention is to give you a uniquely individual look at the levels and types of crimes you are exposed to in your daily life.


"Rather than scaring users about publicly sharing their location, Fearsquare "takes a list of your ten most recent FourSquare check-ins and cross-references these with the UK Police Crime Statistics database" and shows "how many crimes were committed, during a recent one-month period, in the locations where they checked-in." It is all part of an opt-in study that examines "the interaction of people with crime statistics that are presented in a uniquely personal manner."

After authorizing Foursquare, Fearsquare makes the comparison and shows you how many instances of robbery, violent crime and "antisocial crime" have occurred in the vicinity. They can then see how they rank on a leaderboard of users and 'FearPoints.'"

HTML5 and Flash Team Up for Web Music Video

Via PC World

"A new video from the Japanese band Sour makes use of both HTML5 and Flash to take you on a unique musical journey. The video, ties in with your social network accounts to make you part of the video as you watch it. It blew my mind when I watched it for the first time, and it is even better the more social networks you connect to it! For example, if you sign in with your Twitter account when prompted, it'll show the song's lyrics as a Twitter conversation between you and the band."
