PopTech Videos: PopCasts show

Summary: <p><a href="http://poptech.org/alexis_lloyd">Alexis Lloyd</a> and <a href="http://poptech.org/michael_zimbalist">Michael Zimbalist</a>, both from the New York Times R&amp;D Lab, describe a new app for memory mapping the news, which they created for <a href="http://poptech.org/app">PopTech’s iPad app</a>. Unlike the old model of top-down publishing, it allows consumers to combine news with their own personal memories. Users can see timelines in real and perceived time and view stories from the archives within the context of their own lives.</p>
