Although never released commercially, ARQuake, created in 2000, is widely recognized as the first augmented-reality game. Developed by the Wearable Computer Lab at the University of South Australia, the game was based on a heavily modified version of the best-selling 1996 first-person shooter Quake. Playing ARQuake required wearing a head-mounted display and field-of-vision tracker connected to a backpack containing a laptop and a GPS; a handheld “gun” controller provided input.

With hundreds of add-on tools, Twitter certainly has plenty of ways you can analyze its data. I set out to find the best tools that I would recommend for you to track and compare your own Tweets, as well as examine the growth of followers and when you actually send out your 140-character missives. My two faves are TweetStats and Twittercounter. As you are resting from your Thanksgiving feast, you might want to try them out, along with several others that I will show you.

Social pharma faces: Alex Butler

Rebecca Aris interviews Alex Butler
The Social Moon
We’ve heard from quite a few folks now from both within pharma and those more visible driving change on the outside. This week we’re lucky enough to catch up with someone who has spanned both camps in the last few weeks as he makes the move into the service sector off the back of a successful career with pharma giant Johnson & Johnson.
Alex Butler is an extremely well-known figure when it comes to digital pharma, being a regular speaker at conferences and one of the more outspoken pharma folks when it comes to actually personally using social media channels such as Twitter. During his time with Johnson & Johnson he has directly led the development of initiatives such as Psoriasis 360, which won three categories at the recent PM Society Digital Media Awards, so he can certainly practice what he preaches.
During our discussion, Alex talks about how his focus beyond pharma, on the broader world of technology and communications and how this affects society, gives him a slightly different perspective on what the industry should be doing to drive better healthcare delivery. He also talks about his personal experience with digital projects, key lessons learned and who else he sees as drivers of change. Critically, Alex provides a perspective on how it’s not all about Facebook and Twitter, but a more cohesive approach to collaboration and online engagement, which involves the use of novel technology from beyond our sphere of comfort.For the supporting article and to add your comments, please visit: http://www.pharmaphorum.com/2011/10/19/social-pharma-faces-alex-butler/
