Oggi a Seattle viene lanciato il nuovo social-network di Microsoft, Vine, che sembra molto interessante. La novità è che mira a costruire comunità essenzialmente locali, con un interfaccia molto simile ad una mappa.
Vine is a hyperlocal, personalized message and alert system. It’s intended to be a dashboard that people can use to keep tabs of their family, friends, activities and major events in their community.
The dashboard — which appears as a widget on a PC screen — displays a map of the user’s community and the status of their contacts. It also has buttons to send alerts or reports, which can be sent and received on the PC or as text messages on a cellphone.
In compenso, Safari beta4 si schianta al’inserimento di un link all’interno dell’articolo.
