This a pretty cool looking app. You point it at a sign and it translates visually in real-time. You must see it in the video.

Feature comparisons

Will — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:09:38 +0000

All feature comparisons can be over-used for product management and consumer product selection. They are useful for comparing features but many products succeed or fail based on a lot of other factors. Focusing on feature grids can really blind you to the potential for your product and what you are trying to build. Some important things don’t usually show up in feature grids like support quality, reliability, user experience, and product ecosystem. A bad product can have a great grid and a great product can have a bad grid – don’t take your eyes off your strategy and the customer experiences. Some of these grids actually make that point without trying to. Below are some amusing grids that were created to compare features of the iPad to other products.

There are some interesting elements in this video. I’ve definitely been discussing and reading about the semantic web for at least a decade now. I think that someone once referred to the semantic web as Web 2.0 at one time (before we had a different Web 2.0 concept). Anyway, this is an interesting demonstration of some things that some of us have been thinking about – and perhaps some will implement some additional new executed ideas around soon.

Google’s filed a patent entitled “Claiming Real Estate in Panoramic or 3D Mapping Environments for Advertising,” and it should allow them to automagically cut out billboards shown in Street View and replace them with their own current ads.
