(2009-09-22) Wilson Urban Architects

Fred Wilson notes that web people are the new Urban Design-ers. Steven Johnson (OutsideIn), Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Dennis Crowley (FourSquare), City Sourced, etc. Services like Twitter, Foursquare, and Outside.in are changing the way I use the city and I am certain they are changing the way many of us use the cities we live in. And we are just at the very beginning. Think about what happens when we get true Augmented Reality services on our phones. Think about what happens when we get real Social Networking services on our phones. Think about what happens when we get new interfaces on our phones that don't require us to be looking down and typing when we we are out and about.
