Students and staff at Østfold University College of Norway were invited to participate in a citizen journalism project, by covering the historical opening of a new bridge between Sweden and Norway. [via pasta and vinegar]

Equipped with Nokia 6630 smart phones capable of storing images in high quality and wireless GPS receivers, the participants spent the entire day writing, photographing and describing the event in detail.

The result of the project, Locus Times is currently located at here. The service may become temporary unavailable in July, as the University College is moving to a brand new location during the summer.
