SCVNGR Hunter

We've told you about gaming mechanics. We've told you about geolocation. We've even told you how some companies are starting to mix the two. All of that sets the stage for SCVNGR — a geolocation game app.

It's a pretty simple concept — think of the scavenger hunts of your youth, add a mobile device. In SCVNGR's own words, you play by:

  1. Going places
  2. Doing challenges
  3. Earning points

The points can earn you online badges or real-world prizes. At this year's Comic-Con participants in the Dexter Game On SCVNGR hunt unlocked exclusive content from the new season of Dexter, were given access to a VIP "kill room" and won prizes and merchandise.

Gist: A Place Where Social Coders Git Together

You may not know it yet, but Gits are a key part of your social media experience. Across platforms, a number of high-profile projects — Android, Digg, jQuery, Ruby on Rails...the list goes on — use Gits for revision control.

Now there's a community designed to make it easy for coders to collaborate on Git repositories efficiently and effectively. Part of a freemium social coding service called GitHub (they host heavy-hitters like Facebook, Yahoo and TechCrunch), Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with other developers.

Get the idea? Check out the GitHub blog for more on how social coders roll.

Introducing UStream for iPhone

In another jump forward for live mobile broadcasting, UStream released its first iPhone app today. Unlike Knocking, which offers one-way app-to-app broadcasting, the UStream app allows you to broadcast video to the world (you can even syndicate it on your Facebook profile) from your smartphone. Can a Droid app be far behind?
