MyHomeContents: One of my new projects
A year ago my friend’s mother had a really bad day. She got home from work one day to find the whole family house turned upside down. They’d been burgled. The burglars had been rather smart too.

Is this the break-out app of SXSW? ;-)
Ewan Spence together with Tom Scott came up with this rather appropriate South-by-South-West location-based multi-dimensional context-sensitive mobile web-based application. Quite simply it tracks the great Robert Scoble to help answer the fundamental question, Is Scoble In This Room? All you have to do is fire up your web browser or mobile web browser to determine [...]
