The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced the debut on September 8th of “Wiki City Rome“, a project that “uses data from cellphones and other wireless technology to illustrate the city’s pulse in real time.”  The project will provide anybody with access to the Internet a real time peek into Rome, showing movement of crowds, location of buses and trains and locations of notable Romans.  The geographic data will be compiled anonymously from cell phones, GPS devices from buses and taxis and other wireless sources.
