Socialight is covered in an article, titled Making Connections, Here and Now in the New York Times in yesterday’s special Circuits section. The article, by Ethan Todras-Whitehill, provides a nice overview of some of the applications that make up what he calls the “geospatial Web”.

Socialight will be at Hubert Burda Media’s Digital Lifestyle Day ‘06 in Munich on Monday and Tuesday of this week. We’ll be speaking about Socialight on a panel moderated by Jochen Wegner, the brand new editor-in-chief of German-language news site, Focus Online, on Tuesday morning. There’s a nicely produced podcast on the DLD site with some great posts already, and probably more to come…

Feel free to get in touch if you’re in the neighborhood or will be at the conference. We’d love to meet up for a bier!

*** Do you love the sound of one hand clapping? No? Well neither do we, so that’s why we’re going to be adding some sweet sounds to Socialight. To find out more, go to the O’Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference in San Francisco from the 24-26 January 2006! See ya there.

*** With the help of our resident video guru Tom, we’ve created a short Socialight infomercial. Just set it and forget it… ah…never mind. It should give you a fun introduction to some of the things that you can do with Socialight on the web and while mobile. Click on the picture to check it out.

*** Easy links to user profiles. By popular demand we’ve made the links to our user profiles remarkably easy – just put your nickname after our regular URL to go to your profile. Here’s a few examples to get you started:

*** Easy links to Group home pages. In the same spirit that inspired easier user profile links above, we present – Easy Group Names. In the Modify Groups page, you can choose an easy name for your Group and then link to it like so: http://socialight.com/groups/MyEasyName

Keep on Sticking those Shadows!
