Drew Davidson 2010 et al.This text is an introduction to the future of mass media and mass communications %u2013 cross-media communications. Cross-media is explained through the presentation and analysis of contemporary examples and project-based tutorials in cross-media development. The text introduces fundamental terms and concepts, and provides a solid overview of cross-media communications, one that builds from a general introduction to a specific examination of media and genres to a discussion of the concepts involved in designing and developing cross-media communications.
An accompanying DVD-ROM shows how cross-media can be applied, with art, music and illustrations that complement the text. Chapters have overviews and problem-based/project-based activities to encourage active engagement with the readings. Throughout the text there are specific examples, case studies, foundations, and interviews with experts in the field to better illustrate the nature of cross-media.
Cross-media Communications are integrated, interactive experiences that occur across multiple media, with multiple authors and have multiple styles. The audience becomes an active part in a cross-media experience. The overarching goal is to provide an overview of cross-media design and development. It is meant to be interdisciplinary and introductory in concept and implementation.

www.technovelgy.com/ post on Twitter 360 app:
'Twitter 360 is an iPhone application that is designed to allow you to visualize your nearby Twitter friends. It uses the new Twitter Geotagging feature to geotag your tweets.
"Latest Tweets" mode. See the latest tweets of your friends (iPhone horizontal position), and the location from where they were posted (iPhone vertical position) using the Augmented Reality functionality. When a tweet is selected, a blue arrow (compass) is displayed to show the direction and the distance to the location from where the tweet was posted. The distance is updated in real time as you walk in the streets.
"Locate my Friends" mode. List of all your best friends. Twitter 360 lets you track geographic movements of your friends, you can now see where are located your nearby friends via Augmented Reality. If you want to hang out with a particular friend, use this tool to go meet him / her. Unlike the "Latest Tweets" mode (which is more focused on the tweets), the location of each of your friends is calculated with the "location" field data on the Twitter account. When a friend is selected, a blue arrow is displayed to show the direction and the distance to the location of that friend. The selected friend is highlighted in blue. The distance is updated in real time as you walk in the streets.'

This wearable wireless webcam captures a recording of the wearer's personal experience whenever he desires.
Steve Mann's next gen bling - sousveillance webcam - 'the inverse panopticon' - 'the guards have to be on their best behaviour as they never know when they're being watched.' Mann took 500 of these to a conference and gave these out to be worn

I'm listening to a conversation on how to make AR meaningful - not just 'hey now we can access all this data!' but how can we make meaningful experiences, so I am bringing up the parallel discussion in data visualization which can be beautiful but emotionally empty.
that made me think of Alyssa Wright's geolocative work that maps bombings in Iraq onto your experience while wearing the backpack.
Victoria Ha just tipped me on this Brazilian webisode/ARG - set in a women's prison, the footage is streamed unreliably from the security cameras. We follow the women in the prison as they try to figure out who is murdering inmates.
