Tech Happy

It as been an exciting week of tech launches. My favourite type of week. And this is likely to be the last before the festive season kicks in.

There’s #newnewtwitter, yay….I think.

There is Jonathan Harris’ (wefeelfine.org) Cowbird which is just out of Beta – congratulations! Cowbird is a simple tool for telling stories and a public library of human experience. You can explore the The Occupy Saga on their site as a start. Jonathan Harris is such an interesting person, a storyteller/digital anthropologist with a huge following…with that Cowbird is likely to be hugely successful. Keep your eye on it. Get involved.

And then the video included in this post explains Macaw...a lovely app designed by Fjord one of the digital agencies I respect most for focusing on the user. Produced by U.S. Preventative Medicine as part of their prevention plan, Macaw is a health and fitness app that aims to be the “ultimate personal heath hub.” (Makes me wonder when Discovery Vitality is going to be releasing their app?) Macaw is available for free download on Android & iPhone. I’ve tried it, it’s so pretty it makes you want to take on the health challenges….Discovery take note…
