Now available for FREE on Microsoft Marketplace ( in the travel category)  PAPAGAYO can be seen running on my – developer unlocked – windows phone.

The look has changed a bit from the original version which was perhaps too reminiscent of a pack of Marlboro cigarettes.  Inspired by, the late arriving to the Microsoft aresenal, panorama control, the background features none other than the sultry San Diego coast.

The Windows Phone 7 UI features “live tiles” which are icons, you can add, remove and reposition on the start screen.  Data can be pushed to the tiles as in the facebook implementation. Your friends’ profile pictures are randomly juggled.    

Giving me ideas for useless widgets to allow people to publish their own tiles, pushing their own images.

The concept is a no brainer, with the new Bing Translation api. ( including text to speech) As usual microsoft is playing catchup with Google, neither is perfect.

This is the google rendition:
If you want to dance, Mr. Count,
my guitar will, yes,

The collective translation memory ( aka collaborative translations)  is, I think, a very interesting concept.  Google allows users to submit an alternate translation, which is then evaluated by “them”.  Microsoft proposes something even more interesting.  A local translation memory arbitrated by the owner of the website.

The feature is available “by invitation”

Papagayo name stolen from a very local spot http://lepapagayoleucadia.com/

“Users can edit/select or report the automatic translations to better fit the content and site owners have final say in picking the best translation for their content. Users in a community help other users and the community owner, and one community helps another community as sentences repeat. The APIs enable any developer to take advantage of the power of collaboration, and can tap into the wisdom of their crowd(s) across multiple scenarios.”

ANNOUNCING:  TRAVELOGGIA
web and windows phone 7 application 

feel free to add a map, for now, no login required

Traveloggia What Is It?

Create your own maps, add photos to a location. Upload photos from windows phone 7 automatically geo-tagged, or click on a map location from browser and add existing photos and information.  

Prepare for a trip and view it on your phone, go on the trip and add to your album as you travel and take pictures.  Discover a wonderful new place and be able to find it again, by saving the location to a map, with a click on your phone.

Share your trip with friends online.

Why Traveloggia?

1. The original idea evolved while preparing for a trip to Italy last year,
and also while organizing photos afterwards, trying to remember what they were of.
I did alot of research and wanted a map of the places I had decided to visit, with maybe a blurb including the exact address or phone number and a thumbnail.
Most of what I wanted to do was possible with google maps, but it was incredibly awkward to use.

2. Windows phone 7 appeared and now there is a programming api I can use to geotag my photos.  If I dont quite remember what I photographed, I can match it up to the map and see.

3. Its a demo. Past clients include the US Navy and the NYC Dept of Transportation, however there is nothing publicly available to prospective employers and recruiters. 

4. Technology evangelism.   Silverlight4, Bing Maps, Azure/S3 storage, Windows Phone 7 for starters… much more is planned.

5. Proof of concept.  Just maybe, someone else might find the application useful and be interested in developing it as a product.  It could be used by real estate agents for example.

Start by launching a map.  One you created in a web browser or on the spot with the phone.  Click to save your current location.

Take a picture and it will be uploaded to Traveloggia website. You can view the map and photos either on the phone or in a browser.

You may want to enter locations from the phone on the fly or plan your trip ahead, using the web app. 

Either way, you can share a link to your map with friends or even let them add to it.

Possibilities are endless you could publish a geo rss feed of locations on a regular basis that could have subscribers.  Im thinking of contacting Daily Candy…

… you’re going to Rome, I know this great gelato place.
