Navball~ - Register now for new multiplayer GPS game
"NavBall is an exciting new multiplayer game that uses GPS phones to create an action-packed 45-minute match across the city [of] Amsterdam.
- 2 Teams of 11 players compete for 45 mins
- For each team, a Ball and Goal are placed on a city map
- The location of the ball is discovered by GPS
- By lining up, a team kicks the ball towards the goal (& scores)
- Highest NavBall score wins!
[...] The games will be held on Friday the 28th at 15 p.m. and Saturday 29th at 15pm. To join the legendary first NavBall Championship you will need the following:
-a (borrowed) Nokia N95 with internet
-a solid NavBall attack strategy!
So put on your running shoes & email info@The-Saints.nl to register. Or, you can just show up at the right place 15 minutes before the game: you may get a last-minute spot on one of the teams. Only 22 players can sign up for each game. Better hurry! [...] We are currently hacking away at Google Maps so you will be able to follow the game live from our website. Afterwards, we will make a colourful report of the games in pictures and video on our website. So you can experience the matches over and over again! See www.The-Saints.nl/NavBall."

Yahoo Mash - Ooops
This weekend Yahoo launched their new social networking service in private beta. One thing appears to be new: you can edit (& comment on) your friends' profiles.
Saul Hansell thinks it's "quite an homage to Facebook". PaidContent fears it might be "Too little, too late".
I can't wait for an inviation.
