The Berlin collective Telekommunisten has created a microblogging platform based, at its core, on a protocol from the 1970s. Thimbl intends to provide us with a single, multipoint web hosting service instead of us having to surf between a variety of social networks, email servers, website hosts etc.
The American artist Mark Shepard has created a navigation-app which doesn't only lead us the way to our chosen destination but in fact rouses us from our daily routines---En route we're invited to complete sometimes surprising tasks and thus to explore and experience our urban surroundings in new and astounding ways.
