Friday Fishwrap: Life 2.0 and is the MiPhone Real?

July 25, 2008 By: cboyer Category: Friday Fishwrap 2 Comments →

Welcome to the Friday Fishwrap! Today’s featured video is a product that could have been featured on our site: Life 2.0, created by Zeke Shore.

“Is It Real” poll results: the MiPhone:

If you recall, last Sunday we introduce you to MiPhone:a new Apple iPhone 3G application (available through the iTunes app store) that is a micro-social network, allowing users to locate others nearby (using iPhone’s internal GPS services) that also have an iPhone. This social network was designed with one purpose in mind - to allow those elitist iPhoners to gather together and deride non-iPhone cell phone users.

We asked you - Is It Real? Here are the results:

  • 50% said “no”
  • 25% said “yes”
  • 25% said “maybe”

The real answer - the MiPhone is not real! However, many people I talked to said it should be. Tune in this Sunday for the next installment of “Is It Real?”…have a great weekend!

Forget Tweeting - it\'s time to Toot!Forget Twitter, forget IM, forget Skype – it’s time to Toot! Toot is the latest in technology that allows connectivity to your online friends. Based on patented bio-tech implants, Toot allows you to automatically update your health status on the fly! With built-in wireless connectivity, our Toot implants convey relevant biometric information status to our servers, which are then translated into status updates that integrate seamlessly with all social software platforms. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Kanji.

Testimonial from a new Toot Subscriber: “Wow - when I first started Tooting, I wasn’t quite comfortable with it. I felt a bit embarassed doing it in public. But now that I got the hang of it, I Toot all day long. Now that I connected this to my Blackberry, I can toot in the elevator, on the subway - even at home, in bed, under the covers. I am not sure what life was like before Tooting - but it’s certainly much better now!”
