Cannie Cliques – Wired

Valdis Krebs shared this story about the latest in social networking analysis, a revolutionary new breakthrough from MIT’s Physical Language Workshop. As Wired relates in Cannie Cliques, “The Social Networking in Fur, or SNIF, project is a wearable computer system for dogs that allows their owners to monitor the animals' behavior and capture their social networks.” The information from a collar is uploaded to a leash and then on to a server where dog owners can see who sniffed who and what their owners are like. Are cats next?

I know of artists that have done this with GPS and then made maps - pretty cool.
