Since i’ve not heard from her for a long time (which means it’s not a secret anymore), i can save it to my archive;
here is an early stage of the demo: ( it evolved a lot more than what you see now)

*Nil Karaibrahimgil, as a Turkish singer and a musician, is well known with her creative works and ideas in music and media industry. You can visit her site at niltakipte.com or follow her from twitter where she frequently send updates.

You have to be aware of the fact: You are not one in a million. ( ok, you are.. according to the point of view ) If you think that you find something (you can be sure that you are not the first one) and if it’s not yet done, do it! Don’t speak and stand still! Nothing is a unique, one-of-it’s-kind idea, but everything is undone.

• Before facebook was even heard, i’ve made a site that is same ( except application system ) with the facebook and for the same purpose; it was a private site, only for classmates. After a while, after my classmates looses their interest in the site, i’ve stopped doing it, later we saw facebook. This was not a unique idea. Probably many people did similar things.
• Before youtube was even heard, i’ve made a site that is similar to the youtube. Those days, it was a secret converting videos automatically for a web site. I had stopped doing it (it was working and usable), after i satistfied my desire for making a site/system kike that.
• I’ve even made a photo sharing site that you can use everything from 1 page without leaving and everything is movable (drag/drop). Those days, these were not that easy. Today you can  put a jquery line to your code and do it in 5 seconds.

Coming to the near past..

By the end of 2007 i started to work in Nokta Inc. We were sharing our ideas continuously. Here were some of my ideas:

• Let’s create a system that tells you what to watch that day according to the user habits. It has not been not by anyothers that day. It stayed as a line.. It was ignored. After 1 year, i’ve read a news saying that Gittigidiyor Team had started to a new project that tells you what to watch that day (:
• Let’s create a system that will work as a the CORE for a distributed product video and management for all shopping systems accross the country. It stayed as a line.. It was ignored. After 1 year, i’ve read a news saying that Hepsiburada Team had started to a new project that integrates videos to the products. Ok, however it’s not the same, it’s a bit similar. ( Note, this still can be done! It’s not yet done! (if not, not popular and heard) Even across the all countries! (: I can help you extend the idea if you are interested in (: )
• Let’s create a video blogging system. Video blogging was not common those days. Even now it’s not very very common YET. It stayed as a line.. It was ignored..
• Let’s create a live blogging system especially for mobile devices that combines reality with virtual reality and show your way, position in the map while you are blogging. You could even bind advertisements virtuallay(real-time) on the tree for watchers… It’s not just stayed as a line, but also people laughed at it and me. After 1 year, augmented reality projects started to take place. Today you can see many projects like the ones in iPhone: you open camera of your phone and look around, while you are looking, pictures, informations,a videos, sounds related to those places becomes visible on the screen at the related portion of the view! For example if you are looking to the bridge, you see photos popping out from that part of the screen related to bridge, or bridge’s history. When you move the phone, surroundings automatically updates.. And then, i saw that Apple is working on object-recognition system (: Very basicly, when you point your camera to the bridge, it’ll tell you which bridge it is and related informations.. Think about the possibilities.. Other than this virtual reality mix, we started to see live blogging/broadcasting/streaming from many devices. Even professional media staff started to use live blogging/broadcasting now. (qik, justintv,blogtv…)

When i was working for Nokta Inc. (www.nokta.com) and creating a clustering system for uploaded images, i wanted to extend possibilities and push the limits for image and user counts. Any technic might work, but according to your solution, there might be so many works that you can not handle in necessary time; not feasible. So this could ruin the project’s evolving process and project plans. You might have to re-write many codes, redesign the whole system, maybe shut the sytem for a while… Because of this, i thought “what if every person in this world uses this system with more than one account”, people laughed at me in Nokta. But i designed it in my way ( in the same time duration ). Currently i’m not working in Nokta, but if they don’t rewrite the whole code, they won’t be facing with problems related to uploaded images system for a really long time. (However.. trying to seperate images and putting them into UN-real cdn systems would break and make developers to rewrite the whole code for image system).

(Kızılay, ANKARA)

I’m living in Turkey. Ankara is the capital city of Turkey as you know and KIZILAY is one of the most crowded and central parts of Ankara. In the past, when there were only a few cars, the first president of the republic of Turkey, Ataturk ( Mustafa Kemal Ataturk ), has said that, in future “KIZILAY” might have been important for Ankara and number of cars might have been huge, so roads must be very wide and for both ways to handle those in future. At that time, people didn’t understood it and didn’t liked the idea. Today, traffic is a problem in Kızılay (however not a very big problem for now), it’s hard to imagine what could happen if those roads were built smaller..

Recently, there has been found a bug in iPhone’s camera roll display system. It’s related to the number of images taken with iPhone; if you take at least 10000 photos, you’ll face with this problem. ( Fix iPhone’s Camera Roll display bug ) According to my experiences, at the first glance, i can tell that this problem is related to foreseeing or lack of energy and desire of development team in Apple. Maybe coders of that part were not happy about their jobs, they were just coding to get money and only thing to get it is finishing what was given to you.. Yes it’s finished and we purchased and started to use those devices and applications and this is what happens if you don’t think about the thing you make for future.

If you have time and if it’s feasible, why not do it in a way so it’ll help you in the future? And also, people won’t talk behind of you! Maybe coders of this bugs had told to their team that “system works but it can not handle more than 10000 photos, i want to change the way, would you let me?” and maybe they’ve told him/her “No, we have no time”. That’s an excuse for the developer but not for the team, project leader and Apple. It should have been fixed until now!

- Hey, but what happens if you take more than 10000 photos?
– What? Hahahaha, you are funny.
– No i’m serious.
– Ok i have to work, let’s chat later.
– But no, i…. ok nevermind..

- I’ve planned the system so it can support billions of user uploaded photos.
– What?! Why did you do that?! Are you for real?!
– Well.. yeah?
– But why? How does your brain work… only Turkey will use this system and not all of it.. But you are saying that you made it to work for the world. Hahahahhah..
– Yes.
– We have no time, why did you do that?!?!
– I’ve used the same duration for doing it.
– Ok, but will it work for now?
– ……
( after some time, another project leader of another project )
– Hey, hahahahah come and optimize this for billions of people, you are good at it, hahahahhaha.
– ……….

They’ll keep monkeying around, extending their duration for being a monkey; harmless future optimizations for xillions should really not harm anyone or anything.

Congratulations Natali, keep fighting!

There is already 3D.
There is 3DTV (even you don’t have it in your home).
There is WEB.
There are animation technics.
There is cinematography.
There is anti-sociality.
There is sociality.

There are shopping / e-commerce sites.

This post will be limited to a specific concept. 3D surfing experience!

With the combination of current technologies and with some new methods, now shopping sites can be a 3D computer game!
( This is not fiction and it’s possible right now )

Amazon, eBay, Etsy or Gittigidiyor.com, Yemeksepeti.com, Kitapyurdu.com,… These are just a few of the sites that you can imagine. Imagine that you are entering a 3d modeled library! You are going to (virtually walking to) the related shelves. You are searching for a book, you don’t remember it’s name exactly.. But you know it’s cover picture… You look up and down to the ordered books with your mouse. You find it, take it and go to the cashier, you can see many different payment options there visually! PayPal? You’ll see a post-box, you’ll open it’s door.. You want to talk to the person in charge? Go ahead and ask to the the employee..

Ok, you want to sell your camera, you want to list it in second hand sites. You enter the shop and you pass through a special room; that room is only for sellers, you are making your arrangement and putting your photocamera to one of the shelves of the related department.

Ok, you don’t want to sell or buy second hand things, because you are hungry!! You go to yemeksepeti.com which is at the 2nd street of the cyber-city. (yemeksepeti.com lets you order your meal from partnered restaurants like Pizza Hut, Burger King, etc..) When you enter to the cyber restaurant building, you’ll see those meals around! Someone should have paid more to put their meal to the store window (; But you don’t like it, you keep walking.. You see chinese food, and want to give it a try, when you try to reach it, some virtual person turns to you and says “Welcome, thanks for your concern, if you want to buy our special rice, you can take the food you are currently holding for free!”…

There are nearly no limits.. Actually the popular game “Sims” can integrate it faster than anyone (:

I want to leave it now for you to think about it yourself. (: 

You got the start! Now do something before anyone else!

Ok. No. This is currently possible, yes. But if you do it, don’t expect to earn money immediately. You need people to use it and since it’s totally a new habit, it’ll be hard for people.. (it’ll be more hard for people from older generations). You can not simply change well-known ways, attitudes, habits and people, suddenly.  If you do it now, you’ll be one of the first people/companies and you’ll have an incredible start. So it can be done in spare time, or if any company is brave enough to assign dedicated staff to do that, i don’t think that they’ll loose. Even you can’t run it, you can sell it!

I think that someone out there is probably already doing it silently, but if not, after doing the project, please let me know it and give me a credit if  i lend a helping hand. Why i don’t do it? Well, give me some money so i can do it (:

( YES  again, it’s currently possible and you can dynamically interact with 3d worlds and the browser any time. One of those attempts comes from Google with O3D  . There are a few different studies and products related to this. This = two-way immediate interaction, 3d environment systems )
