Google's latest project shows that mapping interior public spaces can be just as useful as mapping streets. How about zoos and theme parks next?

I dropped the daily habit of wearing a watch a long time ago, when I picked up a mobile phone. However, this mashup idea of a wrist computer might change that behavior some day – but that device will need to get closer to a junior version of the iPhone on a wristband first. For now though, looks might just be enough.

A social, or "personal" network that focuses on real friends? Start-up venture Path is (for now) all about sharing photos with a limited network of 50 friends. I like where this is headed in terms of quality. Is this a true challenger to mass market social networking? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) At last, there may be a truly selective approach to creating a meaningful network without all the noise of the Facebook and Twitter universe. This is a little idea with huge implications. Is it the gated community version of the socialsphere? Who are your fifty?

This is a refreshing and richly considered look at two perspectives on social media's value and effects on our culture, friendships, and business environment. I'm digging the thoughtful critical discussion in contrast to the daily din of knee-jerk evangelizing of social media. A lesson learned.
