Hi All!

This week on Outriders we have put all of our eggs in a rather special podcast basket, explored how teenagers can connect with politicians over e-governance, avoided some World Cup pitfalls and gazed upon beautiful maps.

The project connects teens and politicians in different countries to discuss ideas for the future online. Feargal O'Kane is the project coordinator and we discussed how best to get the two groups together - after all, the young of today inherit the web we create today.


No doubt you have noticed that there is some soccer occurring? The World Cup is a time for debating the value of the vuvuzela, hashing over whether or not the ref requires new spectacles, but also to be easily led online. Malware and virus creators know our weaknesses so of Sophos Asia Pacific kindly dropped in to tell us what to look for and to mention past scams on the internet that prey upon lovers of the beautiful game.

Goldsmiths College students have whipped up digital design for living this week. Mark Mulhern is one of five designers working on a project to connect ethical farming practises, QR codes and mobile tech. He visited with us to explain exactly what a does.

Last but no means least, the beautiful maps of have been passed worldwide online. He's used geolocation and images to create maps of where people take their photos - globally. Working with the data to divide tourists from locals, he's created breathtaking images that tell us about where we like to get snap happy with our cameras.


More next week from around the UK and online. See you at the too if you are passing Bletchley Park at the weekend.
