Location technologies are transforming how we experience, navigate, and ultimately better our world. From the global to the local, here are #10Ways geolocation is a positive force for good.

Social media has changed the world. It has revolutionized communications on a global scale, and the transformation continues with every status update, blog post, and video stream. The global citizenry has become a global network.

Since becoming widely adopted just a couple years ago, social media has supercharged social action, cause marketing, and social entrepreneurship. Indeed, the true value hasn’t been the technology itself but how we’ve used it. Today, a second wave of innovation is defining a new era and setting the stage for change over the coming decade.

Mobile technologies will extend the global online network to anyone with a mobile device while enabling countless local networks to form in the real world. We’ve decentralized media production and distribution. We’re doing the same for energy. And we’ll continue this trend for social networking, social action, and commerce.

The combined forces of smartphones, mobile broadband, and location-aware applications will connect us in more meaningful ways to the people, organizations, events, information, and companies that matter most to us—namely, those within a physical proximity of where we live and where we are. Can location-based services (LBS) change the world? Here are #10Ways:1. Checking in for Good: If Gowalla and Foursquare have taught us anything, it’s that people respond to simple incentives. By offering badges, mayorships, and other intangible rewards, millions of people are checking in to the places they go. Apps like Whrrl take this a step further and enable like-minded “societies” to form on a local basis. The next step is for these apps to add greater purpose by encouraging more meaningful checkins and offering corresponding badges and stamps, thus mapping the cause universe. Or for a dedicated app to be developed that rewards conscious consumption, social responsibility, and civic engagement. Yes, the CauseWorld app features a cause element, but it’s not about cause-worthy places.

2. Eating Locally: Sustainability demands that we source our food as close to its point of production as possible. Many so-called locavores subscribe to the 100-mile diet, which requires that one “eat nothing—or almost nothing—but sustenance drawn from within 100 miles of their home.” Given the difficulty of accessing and verifying this information in order to live by this standard, there’s a geo-powered Locavore app. It gives you info on in-season foods, those coming in-season, farmer’s markets, and links to recipes. This rather simple app is clearly just the start. In time, location-aware apps will guide us not only to the grocery store or farmer’s market but through them. All the while identifying foods based on our particular diet or sensibility.

3. Political Organizing: In the next presidential election, politics will not only be local but location-enabled. We saw the power of social media in Obama’s 2008 landslide victory. In 2012, location-based apps and technologies will play a central role in how campaigns are organized, managed, and ultimately won. Much of this will be visible through mobile apps and location-aware browsers. Activists and volunteers will be more empowered. Voters will be more engaged in the moment, right down to casting their votes. Behind the scenes, though, we’ll see massive new sets of data available to campaigns for targeting, empowerment, and optimization. The party, candidate, and/or cause that has the best handle on geolocation will have a measurable advantage. (The Elections app will soon be updated for 2010.)

4. Finding Green Businesses: The web has effectively replaced the paper Yellow Pages as a way to find local businesses and services. However, this “stationary web” experience is quickly being supplanted by the mobile web and mobile applications, which give us access to this information when we most need it. The Yelp and Around Me apps are popular ways to find restaurants, coffee shops, or hotels wherever you are, but what about green-rated businesses? Greenopia has transformed its printed, local guides into a dynamic, nationwide mobile application that lets you find local, green-rated businesses in any category. No more paper and a much better experience. The Green Map app is another that facilitates discovery and connects us to local green environments.

5. Traveling More Efficiently: We’ve had access to GPS navigation systems and static traffic information for some time, but only now are we seeing the full potential of these technologies. With access to more detailed traffic information that is specific to your route and updated in real time, we can minimize congestion and maximize traffic flow (as much as physically possible). The new turn-by-turn MapQuest 4 Mobile app is a good start, as you can get traffic alerts specific to the route you program. However, user-generated information from apps like Trapster and Waze can crowdsource more specific details, such as whether to avoid an intersection due to a toxic chemical spill. Or, if you want to avoid automobiles altogether, Google Maps makes it easy to use public transportation and take a bike.

6. Scanning for Ethical Products: With online shopping, we’ve become accustomed to reading reviews and making comparisons before we buy. This can now be done in the physical world through games like MyTown and services like Stikybits. By scanning a product barcode using a smartphone camera, you can unlock a treasure of additional information (not to mention deals) that can help with your purchase. This might include where it was produced, how far it traveled, the reputation of the manufacturer, chemical contents, carbon footprint, or the full lifecycle analysis. Location-aware applications can also transform commerce itself by giving us better access to local inventories and locally-produced goods. Whether it’s fruits and vegetables or books and electronics, if something can be found within blocks of your current location, it makes no sense to ship it from afar.

7. Networking Neighborhoods: One of the hottest categories in geolocation is neighborhood networking. The vision for many of these apps is to strengthen the very fabric of our communities. With DeHood, you can keep track of what’s happening in your neighborhood, share your favorite places, and grease the wheels for actually meeting people. After all, if you’ve made contact through the app, it’s a lot easier to say “Hello” in the real world. Blasterous is another that lets you share information locally, whereas BlockChalk does this on an anonymous basis. Finally, NeighborGoods uses your street address to facilitate one-to-one borrowing and trading of useful stuff. In the end, making connections with your neighbors can lead to safer, more productive, and more sustainable communities.

8. Tracking Environmental Disasters: The size and scope of environmental disasters appears to be growing. In 2008, we had the Tennessee coal ash spill, which was billed as “the largest environmental disaster of its kind in the United States.” And that was before we realized it was three times bigger than originally estimated. More recently, the BP oil spill set daily records for “largest environmental disaster in the U.S. ever.” In each case, geolocation technologies can be used by engaged citizens to monitor and track the effects. They can be used by response teams to coordinate containment and cleanup efforts. Ultimately, these technologies can be used to accurately measure the size and impact of a disaster in order to better understand its damages and costs.

9. Viewing the World Through an Eco Lens: Augmented reality (AR) follows geolocation as one of the hot trends in mobile technology. It enables you to view the world through a smartphone camera (or similar device) and see layers of geo-specific content or information. One of the most popular apps is Layar, an augmented reality browser/platform that lets you choose specific data layers or experiences. The potential for green- and cause-related content is tremendous. You might view green-rated businesses, LEED-certified buildings, or virtual GHG emissions as they enter the atmosphere. Combined with smart meter technology, you could see the most efficient and inefficient homes around you in real time. And for the cynics among us, you could view our mountains, forests, rivers, and oceans as they once were…before the effects of climate change and so many environmental disasters.

10. Capturing the Moment: Better access to information about what’s happening around us—right now—can dramatically improve quality of life. This sense of “geospatial awareness” is possible through today’s smartphones, whereby a piece of content or information—a moment—is captured and preserved based on the unique time and place in which it occurred. It is essentially to document spacetime. Protests, natural disasters, sporting events, parties, political crises…real-time information about anything happening anywhere at any time, as well as the history of what happened. This will take several years and a number of different applications to realize. In the end, though, it will revolutionize how we access and consume content. It will complete the democratization and decentralization of news and information…based on time and location.

Cautionary note: Privacy is the single biggest issue in the LBS industry. It’s important to understand what information you are sharing with regard to your location and with whom.

Author’s note: We’ll be hosting geolocation events for Social Media Week in Los Angeles this September. This is the third in Max Gladwell‘s #10Ways series of distributed blog posts. It was published simultaneously on as many as 300 blogs.

What I discovered was an entirely new class of vehicle: an electric bike that is just as easy to pedal as it is to ride motor-only. While the bike itself appeared to be a well-constructed, well-designed and well-thought-out piece of personal transportation, I wondered exactly who would be buying it, given its whopping $3,000 price tag. The answer may surprise you.Ultra Motor, a German-based company, manufactures the slick A2B Metro, the one I tried, and its cousin, the A2B Hybrid. The Metro is the more well-equipped of the two, boasting two battery packs, one built into the down tube, and one that slides onto the rear deck, and can be exchanged. The Hybrid model only includes one battery, the rear one. Both include an electric motor fully integrated into the rear hub, and disc brakes front and rear.

When I first looked at the A2B, I was struck and just how high the build quality appeared to be. The frame obviously sturdy, with thick welds, and all of the components seemed to be heavy-duty. (For some reason, the thick brake cables seemed very notable.)

One unique feature of these bikes is the ride position, which is much more upright than a mountain bike. According to the representative I spoke with, this was an intentional choice to make the vehicle more comfortable for bike commuters. This certainly appeared to be the case: when you mount the bike, with your butt on the seat, your feet are comfortably flat on the ground. When riding, with your feet on the pedals, it doesn’t feel awkward, and is very comfortable.

Unlike the mopeds that many of us may be familiar with, the A2B is designed as an “electric-assist” bike, where the
electric motor supplements a bike that can be pedaled on its own. WHen I was told that, I was expecting that the bike would feel heavy, until the electric motor was engaged, but this turned out not to be the case. The A2B seemed to be so well designed for the task, that pedaling it was just as easy as using the throttle.

One of the more interesting features is the way that you can use any combination of pedal or motor. While this sounds strange, at first, it works seamlessly, and took me only a few minutes to get used to.

I have to say that the overall experience was quite fun. It was just as much fun as any that I ever rode a motorbike of one sort or another, except that the electric motor makes everything so smooth, effortless and quiet (certainly something you would want if you were going to ride this through your neighborhood early in the morning, on your way to work).

It is very easy to see how the A2B would appeal to any urban dweller that is considering biking to work, especially one who has to contend with numerous hills, such as in San Francisco. While the hefty price tag may turn some off, it is certainly not out of line with the prices of some high-end racing bikes. The real market, however, is with fleet buyers, Police agencies, and retail rental outlets. As a matter of fact, one of the largest bike rental companies servicing San Francisco and New York owns several hundred A2B bikes, and they are constantly in use.

One of the things the rep said, which resonated with me, is that they wanted to build a high-quality vehicle that would last a very long time (thus justifying the price). While I am not sure that American consumers have adopted that mentality yet, it certainly seemed as if the quality justified that statement. He also said that there were no current plans to produce low-cost versions of the A2B. This is too bad, because I feel that a product, like this one, could really persuade people that commuting by bike might be a good idea after all.

However, at least one person vehemently disagrees with my take on the A2B. What do you think? Do $20K electric bikes make sense? Tell us you thoughts in the comments section.

“My goal for the next decade is to try to make it as easy to save the world in real life as it is to save the world in online games,” — Jane McGonical

In her inspiring TED talk, game designer Jane McGonigal throws out a very interesting statistic: young gamers spend approximately 10,000 hours playing online games by the time they reach age 21. While this number may not seem significant, at first, it happens to be about the same number of hours a child will spend in school between 5th grade and high school graduation, and, according to Blink author Malcolm Gladwell is the magical number of hours one needs to spend learning a particular skill in order to become a “virtuoso”.

This means that young people today are become virtuosos at playing online games. Ms. Mcgonigal explains that we can harness this virtuosity to solve the world’s problems, just by asking the question: “Exactly what skills are these gamers getting good at?”

“The cooperative skills and hopefulness that people learn while pecking away at online games, like World of Warcraft, will help our society address real-world problems like climate change and nuclear arms proliferation.”

Jane’s work has become quite mainstream, recently, and I have a feeling that it won’t be long before we see our first real-world “epic win”, generated 100% by gamers.

From the article: “They famously permitted fans to tape their shows, ceding a major revenue source in potential record sales…the decision was not entirely selfless: it reflected a shrewd assessment that tape sharing would widen their audience, a ban would be unenforceable, and anyone inclined to tape a show would probably spend money elsewhere, such as on merchandise or tickets. The Dead became one of the most profitable bands of all time.”

According to Wired Magazine writer John Barlow, the concept, which goes directly against traditional business models, is based on the notion that it is not scarcity that creates value: “in the information economy, “the best way to raise demand for your product is to give it away..What people today are beginning to realize is what became obvious to us back then—the important correlation is the one between familiarity and value, not scarcity and value.”

Anyone who is interested in subjects such as these would be well-served by paying attention to certain articles and podcasts written byCory Doctorow, a science fiction writer and founder of the very popular BoingBoing.net blog.

In his collection of essays, Content, Mr. Doctorow explains how he convinced the publisher of his science fiction book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, to let him post the entire text of his book under a creative commons license. Anyone who downloads the book is free to read, distribute and copy the book, and are encouraged to use the text to create derivative works.

Mr. Doctorow explains how some people buy the physical version of the book, while others download the free version. Many who download the free version never intend on buying the book anyway, but many others do end up buying the real book, either as a way to support the author, or because they like reading books in their traditional form.

The most important thing for a writer, Doctorow explains, is to get his name out there, far and wide, and people who like his book will send it to their friends and/or create derivative works, and this gets his name and writing distributed much further than traditional publishing could do. This ultimately translates into money in his pocket, directly through book sales, and through other methods, such as speaking engagements. His sales records are additional proof that this method works.

The Grateful Dead became one of the biggest money-making bands of all time by essentially giving away their product for free. As Mr. Doctorow and many more cutting-edge content producers are re-discovering, this type of marketing is a win-win for everyone. Perhaps more traditional companies should take notice.

Solar cells could make fossil fuels virtually redundant if they were cheaper, but their use of rare elements and complex manufacturing processes makes them expensive. – PhysOrg.com article “IBM develops promising contender for cheaper solar cells”

KurzwielAI.net is a very interesting blog maintained by Ray Kurzwiel, artificial intelligence expert and inventor of the electronic synthesizer. The blog highlights cutting-edge technologies that are information-based, such as medical and computing advances, and recently featured four neat scientific breakthroughs that could potentially change the face of cleantech.

Many people dispute the ability of high technology to provide substantive replacements for our oil-intensive lifestyles. Mr. Kurzweil has proposed a compelling reason why technology will, in fact, make a huge difference: the accelerating nature of information-based technologies. The logic goes something like this: any science or technology that is built upon information and information technologies will grow at an exponential pace (detailed analysis here). The following are a few examples of just how fast the pace of science and technology is currently advancing.

Two of the recent advances relate to increasing the efficiency of solar cells. KurzweilAI.net highlights a Technology Review article about a news coating for solar cells, “Stanford University spinoff Broadband Solar is developing coatings that increase the amount of light that inexpensive amorphous silicon solar cells absorb, making them competitive with the leading thin-film solar cells.” The company projects that their coating will provide a four-percent increase in the efficiency of amphorous silicon cells, with no increase in cost, and can do the same for traditional thin-film solar cells. The Technology Review article also states that, “Amorphous silicon has the advantage of being much more abundant than the materials used by [companies like] First Solar.”

The second solar advance is another type of solar cell which purportedly is cheaper than conventional cells. Summarizing a Physorg.com article, KurzweiAi.net states, “IBM Research has developed a prototype photovoltaic cell using common, cheap elements (tin, zinc, copper, selenium, and sulfur) to replace expensive rare elements indium and tellurium, and an inexpensive manufacturing process.” The process involves printing nanoparticles, called kesterites, onto a glass substrate. The Physorg.com article includes this, extremely tantalizing, quote: “Solar cells contribute under 0.1 per cent of the Earth’s electricity supply at the moment, largely due to their expense and the rarity of their key elements. The IBM solar cell could change all of that. IBM will patent and license the technology and says it is open to partnerships with existing photovoltaic cell manufacturers to bring it to the market.”

Another PhysOrg.com article (via Kurzweil as well) explains a team from the University of Michigan have discovered how to reduce power consumption in electronic devices by using “near-threshold computing (using lower voltages than normal to reduce energy consumption).” Although the article focuses mostly on how this process can be used to increase the performance of microprocessors (power consumption being a major barrier), the strategy could also be used to lower the power consumption of a device while maintaining its performance. According to the article, the potential reduction in energy consumption could be over 100%.

The last item could be a blessing for any clean technology that needs power storage, including wind, solar and electric vehicles. According to EE Times (via KurzweilAI.net), “Intel researchers are exploring nanoscale materials that could be used to create ultra-capacitors with a greater energy density than today’s lithium ion batteries. If successful, the new materials could be mass produced in volumes to power systems ranging from mobile devices to electric vehicles—even smart grid storage units.” Although this particular strain of research into ultracapacitors (a much more environmentally-friendly type of battery) in in an extremely early stage, it highlights a theme that runs through many of the breakthroughs: nanotechnology, which is manufacturing at a molecular scale. As in this case, many of the current efforts utilizing are in the form of liquids and coatings.

Reading about these types of scientific breakthroughs over the last couple of years has really made me a believer in the idea of accellerating change. The current pace of change is simply astounding. But, while I believe that new technologies will be a major factor in overcoming the huge challenges facing us, I also know that technology is not the only answer. Its still going to take a huge amount of cultural and social change, and human effort, if these challenges are going to be successfully surmounted.

What do you think? How will technology and science factor into our future?

I just discovered this clean energy podcast by Tom Raftery of Spain. At about 11 minutes, in Tom makes some comments on my hydrogen article. He mostly supports my debunking of the hydrogen economy, although he does give a good example of how hydrogen creation can be useful in certain situations, such as storing excess power generation from wind production.

Thanks, Tom!

News outlets and the blogosphere are abuzz with reactions to Thursday’s Supreme Court decision that will allow corporations to fund political campaigns. The ruling, which overturns decades of legal precedent and legislation limiting the ability of corporations to influence the outcome of elections, may have broad implications for the political process in the U.S. News of the decision has drawn criticism from both the right and the left, many voicing the opinion that dramatically increased rights for corporations will significantly diminish the ability for individual citizens to have their voices heard.

In his weekly address, President Obama said, “I can’t think of anything more devastating to the public interest,” he said. “The last thing we need to do is hand more influence to the lobbyists in Washington or more power to the special interests to tip the outcome of elections.” Congressman Alan Grayson (FL) has already introduced legislation to combat the policy change. His “Save Our Democracy” Reform Package contains several strong measures, including a 500% excise tax on corporate contributions to political committees, and on corporate expenditures on political advocacy campaigns.

Although some claim that this most recent ruling will have only a limited effect on the political process, the decision certainly re-confirms the doctrine of granting constitutional rights, originally reserved for flesh-and-blood U.S. citizens, to corporate entities, which have held the dubious status of “legal persons” with rights since 1886, when another Supreme Court decision accorded it to them. This unexpected action by the Court re-opens the debate about about the wisdom of affording corporations such rights, and what effects this all has for sustainable business.Profit over people and planet
Readers are likely familiar with the sustainability concept from which TriplePundit derives its name : the “Triple Bottom Line.” Instead of the traditional (single) “bottom line”, referring to business profits as the only real measure of business success, the Triple Bottom-Line measures a successful and sustainable business by three spheres of equal importance: People, Planet and Profit (the “three P’s”). One easy way to tell if a business is unsustainable is the extent to which one of the three P’s, profit, grossly outweighs the other two, in terms of importance and magnitude.

For quite some time now, most businesses have been unsustainable, and most corporations have been pursuing profit for their shareholders above everything else. But this is not simply the result of cultural bias, overly greedy CEOs, or an uninformed public. By allowing corporations the same constitutional rights as human beings, the courts have created a system under which profits must take precedence over people and planet.

The “suicide economy”
In her presentation entitled The Democracy Crisis, Riki Ott, a marine biologist who fought Exxon after the Valdez oil spill, posits that our current form of governance is what she calls a “Corpocracy”, what some might call Corporatism, where unchecked corporate rights inevitably lead to a “suicide economy”, in which the destruction of environmental and social wealth causes huge profits to be made. She cites several examples: The Exxon Valdez oil spill (cleanup boosts Alaska’s GDP), Wars and disasters (boost national GDP), and healthcare (Sick people buy more healthcare, so more sick people equals greater GDP).

Equally protected pillage
In the article Corporatization: An Internal Clash of Civilizations , Ben Manski and John E. Peck write that, “Within the framework of U.S. constitutional law, in which personhood conveys fundamental protections against state action, the dubious doctrine of corporate personhood has allowed corporations to gain constitutional insulation from democratic control of corporate investment in key activities, including electioneering, lobbying, advertising, resource extraction, and manufacturing…. corporations have usurped the legal claim to personhood, while remaining free of the accompanying moral obligations or physical limitations of natural persons”

Because the Supreme Court has been slowly taking away the States’ power over corporations (put in place specifically because many of our founding fathers feared the potential abuse of unchecked corporate power) the situation keeps getting worse and worse. The following are just a few examples of protections that are currently the right of corporations, and their sustainability impacts, from the article “Corporate Personhood and the “Right” to Harm the Environment”:

• Fourth Amendment, “The right of the people to be secure. . . against unreasonable searches and seizures. . .”
  “Under many circumstances, corporations have the right to “shut the door” on government inspectors who lack a search warrant. The resulting delay may be enough for a company to cover up signs of wrongdoing. Even if evidence is collected under a search warrant, there is no guarantee that it will hold up in court.”
• The Fifth Amendment, “. . . nor shall any person. . .be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
  “Corporations have the right to challenge governmental actions that protect the environment by claiming they are “takings” of their property rights. Further, the government may be required to provide monetary compensation for any consequent reduction in property value, even intangible property value such as lost potential profits.” Corporations even have the right to “not speak”, so as to not incriminate themselves!
• The 14th Amendment, “. . . nor shall any State . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
  “By using the cry of “equal protection” to open the courts to them, corporations can evade, if not overturn, regulations while conducting business as usual.”

And finally,

• The First Amendment, “. . . no law. . . abridging the freedom of speech. . .”
  “The First Amendment right to free speech has been broadened by the courts to allow corporations to give campaign contributions, lobby legislators, run advertisements that support their interests, exercise the right not to speak, and paint their activities as ‘green.’ “

Given that the Supreme Court had previously established that corporations were persons due 14th Amendment rights, they really had no choice but to decide that corporate speech could not be restricted. To do otherwise would be to invalidate both the equal protections of the 14th Amendment and the guarantee to free speech of the FIrst Amendment. To truly solve this problem, the notion of corporate personhood must be turned back to its original definition, which allowed corporations simply to make contracts, own property, and to sue or be sued.

Power to the people
Americans must re-assert that Constitutional rights are the rights of living persons only, and do not apply to “legal fictions”. Americans must also re-establish the absolute rights of the States over Corporations, meaning that States could revoke corporate charters, levy differential taxes and revoke the right of corporations to have jury trials, saving years of litigation and untold millions of taxpayer dollars.

To conclude, I would like to point out what is perhaps the most appalling aspect of this entire topic. While individual civil rights, such as women’s and minority rights, were gained at the cost of many years, lives, hard work and sacrifice, corporate rights were gained simply through Federal court decisions, with no public debate whatsoever! Oddly enough, this prospect was foreseen by Thomas Jefferson, and, in 1821, and he was quoted as saying, “The Engine of consolidation will be the Federal judiciary; the two other branches the corrupting and corrupted instruments.”

I think it is about time that we stop proving Mr. Jefferson right.

(If you are interested in learning more about this topic, I highly recommend reading the linked articles, which provide many and detailed examples, much too lengthy to be included here.)
