Visualize Your Network with Fidg’t
Visualize Your Network with Fidg’t
Fidg’t
is a desktop application that aims to let you visualize your network and its predisposition for different types of things like music and photos. Currently, the service has integrated with Flickr and last.fm, so for example, Fidg’t might show you if your network is attracted or repelled by Coldplay, or if it has a predisposition to taking photos of their weekend partying. As the service expands to support other networks (they suggest integrations with Facebook, digg, del.icio.us, and several others are in the works), this one could become very interesting.

What is FMC (Fixed mobile convergence)
An Excerpt from “FMC: Where the fixed and the mobile converge merrily” by Mickey Nasiri, General Manager, CSR India @ http://www.convergenceplus.com/jan07%20it%2001.html
What exactly is fixed mobile convergence?
Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) is the way to connect a mobile phone to a fixed line infrastructure. With convergence between mobile and fixed line networks, operators can provide services to users irrespective of their location, access technology or terminal.
FMC technology enables users to switch at will – from the default cellular network to a wireless connection (wi-fi hotspot) at office or a Bluetooth-equipped personal computer with broadband internet connection (Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP) or a small base station at home. The mobile handset will have a common telephone number for residence, office and cellular service.
What does it require?
Two essential technologies necessary for FMC are firstly short-range connectivity over a wireless link such as WiFi, and secondly the software required for the handover from a mobile network to a fixed line network. For example, a WiFi enabled handset could switch over (handover) from Mobile Network X to a WiFi basestation (when in range) and use the fixed line for data and voice transmission.
Sooner or Later, our thoughts should be headed to a more connected service world
