		<title>Desperately Engaging Audiences for Innovation Journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Innovation journalism stories do not always reach audiences. However, the ultimate goal of innovation journalism is not only to reach audiences and stakeholders, but also to engage them in a public and meaningful debate about the new value of innovations. Therefore, the title of our session changed along the way to 'Desperately Engaging Audiences.']]></description>

		<title>In 100 feet, park left!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SFpark will bring big change both in parking availability and pricing policy. Essentially it will set a baseline for demand-responsive pricing. To reach the typical 20% availability of open spaces, prices will be set as high as necessary: an hour of parking will cost anywhere between 25 cents and six dollars. If a driver finds the price too high, he or she can either park elsewhere or postpone the time of travel to a time when demand and price are lower. This will also let the city fix disproportional garage and on-street parking prices. If the demand for on-street parking is higher, garages should eventually be a cheaper alternative. The city, which is cutting public transport services 10%, says that the new parking experiment is not about raising parking revenues but is about making parking easier to find.]]></description>

		<title>New Online Bike Map For San Francisco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luckily for bicycle users in San Francisco, a new and more detailed online map was officially announced on May 1st, only days before 'Bike-to-work' day on May 13th.  SFBikemapper.org is a long planned project of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Bicycle Coalition. In fact, careful development took long enough for Google to overtake the initiative. 

Bikemapper also offers features Google maps do not. It lets users select the type of journeys. The calculated route will try to follow bike-friendly paths, either shortest or flattest, depending on user preferences. People who will bike to work on May 13th are more than welcome to test both services and plan their journey. Realize that both are still in beta.]]></description>

		<title>Can GPS improve urban cycling?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since 2002, San Francisco's County Transportation Authority has been using a computer-based tool, SF-CHAMP (San Francisco Chained Activity Modeling Process), to predict daily travel migrations. Demographic and infrastructure facts, as well as street data, are analyzed in SF-CHAMP to improve the city’s transportation system. So far, the computer model has been used to improve bus services and study the effects of a subway extension to Chinatown or even a possible London like congestion zone for downtown San Francisco in which access would be subject to fees.

		<title>Slovenian hackers seek investors!</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Roving Slovenian Hackers Turned Away by Facebook But Welcomed at TechCrunch" is a title of TechCrunch story that draw unexpected attention to a group of 12 Slovene students on a visit in Silicon Valley. It also spread quickly, both on Twitter and among many TechCrunch readers. This should not surprise most of us: 44,900 Facebook users like TechCrunch. Thanks to the new personalized tools and the button of 'like,' I have also learned that three TechCrunch 'likers,' previously fans, are friends of mine: Matti, Johanna and Bettina (I hope you don't mind). But I am the first to like the Slovenian-hacker story officially; something that must be stored forever in my Facebook profile.]]></description>

		<title>Bay Area: Prepare For Your Earthquake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Low motivation for emergency preparedness was one of the key issues addressed at Silicon Valley Crisis Camp in March. Many such camps have been organized worldwide since the start of the Crisis Commons project last year.  The project has successfully started a debate among technologists, engineers and first responders on how innovation and technologies can be used effectively in cases of emergency.

		<title>Parking Made Easy in San Francisco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drivers look at signs. How to make that interface as simple and transparent as possible, so we are not distracting drivers not looking for parking but providing instant information to drivers who are? Our sign just says ‘parking,’ with an arrow that indicates parking. We’ll be delivering data to that sign that says: “If you are on this block, going this direction and you want to find a place to park, turn left, based on what we know about parking availability. It’s simple. Any driver can follow it and it does the job]]></description>
