Personalized custom christmas tree ornaments made by Really Interesting Group for their friends with each friend’s own social network data. Snowman’s head is number is Twitter followers, length of drips from cloud is Dopplr data, horizontal red bars for number of tracks scrobbled monthly on last.fm and the blue one shows the aperatures used on photos posted to flickr. Friends without data on a particular network got a 404.

collective remembering

Russell Davies on how the services we use today can serve as a collective family photo album to reminisce about things gone away.

I’m certainly not the first to realise or write about this effect but doing this really struck home how powerful things like Street View and geo-tagged Flickr will be as remembering tools. Not just remembering things you’ve got pictures of, but the things implied and stirred by the pictures. So they’re not just tools for locating yourself or your objects, but for locating your memories and exchanging them with others.
