Since the public launch of Gowalla’s service just ten weeks ago, 50,000 people have signed up and checked into 150,000 locations in over 7,500 cities worldwide. The company is currently seeing 20,000 check-ins daily. Like Foursqaure, you check in at places you want your friends to know you are at, and then they can see where you are and join you if they are nearby. But Gowalla pulls the actual GPS coordinates instead of relying on users to tell the app where they are. Gowalla also has its own gaming elements, including the introduction of GPS-aware virtual goods which can only be picked up at certain locations. These could form the basis for a business model similar to FourSquare’s around for location-based coupons, promotions, and marketing.

Point your iPhone towards an object – the Eiffel Tower, for example – and instantly see the admission price, working hours, its height and other information. A patent called ID App does just that; it recognizes an object based on visuals (through the iPhone’s camera), a RFID reader or through GPS, and then fetches the data from related databases. Another patent focuses on facial recognition, which can also be used for a variety of purposes. It could bring you info about a person just by pointing a camera at him; or it could be used for security, enabling only recognized users to use the device

Refollow is definitely a tool that is very handy for performing bulk actions, especially if you have a lot of friends and followers on Twitter. Sorting by last tweet can also help you clean out your followers since you’ll be about to see those who haven’t tweeted in awhile. For those who like to unfollow those that are not following you back, this is another great use for this tool.

In parts of California, licensed medical marijuana dispensaries have become as common as In-N-Out Burger stands. At least 13 other states allow some form of pot use for medicinal purposes, and the Obama administration announced last month that federal prosecutors would no longer go after medical users in those states, a policy shift that activists hailed as a watershed.
