Flying cross-country
Thursday, October 01, 2009 by Dave Winer.
I'm flying today from JFK to SFO. 
Trying something new, taking pictures as we go, as cloud cover permits, and uploading them in realtime.
I have enough people in my loop so that almost anywhere I post a picture of, someone is in the the picture, and a few people can tell me exactly where it is. I learned this on the west-east trip last week, when I took a picture in the middle of Colorado that turned out to be in Ouray County near Telluride. I've been there! Beaufiful country.
Here's the Flickr set of pics taken today.
Realtime interactive social media. Whatever you call it, it's really coool.
