Peeter Marvet of Estonia is breaking the barriers between phone and Web integration.
Nice!
First, he has developed a real-time SMS advertising and posting system that uses Frontier. Very cool. People can place text ads on a media site and pay for them using an SMS equiped phone. On the community side, he has built a site where people can report bad drivers (an antidote for road rage) from their phone. Very cool.
He also is doing some very interesting work on decentralized multimedia collection. He built a site using Frontier for a local Radio station that allowed them to send out reporters with camera equiped wireless phones (to take pictures of local events/situations). The reporters then sent the pictures they took with the phone to a Frontier server which then automatically displayed the pictures on the station's site. Very cool.
