Ad-Hoc Banksy tour, in SF, thanks to @foursquare
Last week while in San Francisco, Danijela and I stopped at an Italian restaurant to have a light snack. When we went to check-in, on foursquare, we noticed that there was a Gallery icon nearby with the words “Banksy Mural: Airstrike” next to it. To both our excitement we realized that people had tagged Bansky’s street art as locations on foursquare, which prompted us to track down (by searching Banksy, to get the next closest on a map) 2 other peices (here, and here) that day and 2 more before it was time to go home.
This was a use of foursquare that we had never used before and were really happy to have stumbled upon it… had it not been for a quick check-in we would have missed some great art thoughout the city. Win!

AT&T upgrade in the Alley & Valley, 7.2, and FaceTime over 3G

Conversation with AT&T insider yields some interesting insight:

  • $2 Billion in upgrading infrastructure

- On day 30 of 100 to completion

- Focus on major overhaul of Valley (SF) and the Alley (NYC)

  • iPhone 4’s FaceTime testing on 3G was not up-to-par for a full release
  • End of year rollout to deliver 7.2Mbps Nationwide (twice as fast as current release)
  • We can probably except iPhone 4’s FaceTime on Cellular sometime next year
