I read first on Reddit co-founder Aaron Swartz's blog that he and Quinn Norton are going to be geo-trackable in realtime as they cover a hacker convention:
"This year's Chaos Communication Congress opens with a unique opportunity -- your chance to track the movements of a Wired News' reporter on the scene, as well as nearly a thousand other visitors to the annual hacker convention.
[...]
track Quinn Norton (ID 254135) and Wired Digital's Aaron Swartz (ID 254260), two of nearly 1,000 participants wearing RFID trackers for the duration of the congress.
(Quinn Norton, Hacker Con Submits to Spychips, Wired News, December 28, 2006)
Swartz, who is now a Wired employee thanks to our acquisition of Reddit, adds: "It's funny--the first time my employers find out where I am this week may be when they report it on their own news site." Which may in fact be true--like many email/IM based companies these days, we increasingly don't care where people work as long as they're Treo/Blackberry reachable and responsive. Or just update their blog frequently ;-)
Our competitors are invited to spend a lot of time writing geotracking scripts to see who our two intrepid reporters are interviewing.
Hey, reading this blog for the first time. I must say it is as insightful as the book
