			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I saw the <a target="_blank" href="http://wave.google.com/">video preview of Google Wave</a>.</p>
<p><img width="256" height="256" style="border: medium none ;" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157" title="Google Wave Logo" alt="Google Wave Logo" src="http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/google_wave_logo-760260.png" /></p>
<p>As they say, a product, a platform, a protocol (three P).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really impressive. It seems that the GooGuys have combined the intuition of wiki (collaboration), messaging (instant and delayed), social networking, tagging into an open source project (the 4th P).<br />
The first sensation is: WOW. Is that possible?<br />
The second one is: what about the experience of being overwhelmed by too much information?</p>
<p>After &quot;the cloud&quot;, a new metaphor is served! The wave is an engaging concept: let&#8217;s surf it!<br />
But old sailors know that waves are dangerous. In fact it&#8217;s really hard to imagine the interaction with a web application that is spread everywhere (API &amp; Extensions).</p>
<p>Will Google give consistency and paths to waves? Will Google allow us to pass over and surf them?<br />
As WebSailors, we&#8217;ll see. By the way, I&#8217;ve a lot of thoughts to share after this viewing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connectivity is the power and the browser is the new operating system.</li>
<li>There isn&#8217;t any message, just conversations (so cluterian!).</li>
<li>Blogspace is affected by broadcast paradigma: post and comments.</li>
<li>There isn&#8217;t any difference between message and feedback. Both are old words.</li>
<li>Playback culture will defeat log culture.</li>
</ul>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>Come on folks, stop clapping at every feature&#8230; It&#8217;s sit-com style! Evertything seems unreal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Le fontanelle a Roma sono qualcosa che va oltre la semplice erogazione dell&#8217;acqua pubblica.<br />
La loro forma e diffusione capillare le rende un segno visivo molto forte, un brand delle propaggini della citt&agrave;. (cfr. <a href="http://www.romadocfest.it/">RomaDocFest</a>)</p>
<p>Anche se ti allontani dal centro storico, i &quot;<a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasone">nasoni</a>&quot; sono sempre l&igrave;, schivi, dietro gli angoli pi&ugrave; insospettabili, pronti a rassicurarti con la loro presenza: sei ancora a Roma. Quando le fontanelle hanno un&#8217;altra forma, &egrave; l&#8217;inizio di un&#8217;inquietudine; si &egrave; di fronte al primo timido segnale di aver varcato un confine nuovo, l&#8217;ennesimo anello che racchiude una delle tante Rome immaginarie.<br />
Architettura (o urbanistica?) dell&#8217;informazione si fa anche cos&igrave;&#8230;</p>
<p>Come tanti cives o semplici fruitori della citt&agrave; ho sempre avuto un debole per &quot;l&#8217;acqua del sindaco&quot;. Senza esserne cosciente ho in mente una cartografia personale dei nasoni presenti nei quartieri che frequento.<br />
E io mi disseto spesso, soprattutto quando penso di poterlo fare senza n&eacute; spendere n&eacute; inquinare.</p>
<p>Per questo ho deciso di segnalare <a href="http://www.watermap.it" target="_blank">WaterMap</a>, un progetto di media strategy ideato da EHC e patrocinato dalle istituzioni locali (XII Municipio, Provincia di Roma e Regione Lazio).<br />
Fare una mappa cartacea, un social network e un&#8217;applicazione per iPhone per valorizzare le fontanelle di acqua pubblica mi trova la mia completa adesione.</p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>- I like the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/watermap/show">slideshow</a>. Un gesto semplice. Popular testimonials to enforce the brand.<br />
- I don&#8217;t like the <a href="http://www.watermap.it/watermap.pdf">brochure</a>. EHC needs some webwriting &amp; copywriting consutants.</p>
