At the Live Search Symposium a couple of weeks ago questions about where Photosynth had gone were plentiful. I guess the fact we’d made a noise about it 18 months ago and folks haven’t seen anything since has made people think it’s not going to happen.

Far from it!!

As you can see from the Hard Rock Cafe Memorabilia site, the technology has been combined with Silverlight to showcase bits and pieces from the bygone age of rock, making it super-easy to navigate the pieces and read associated trivia and history about them.

Here I’m using mouse controls to zoom in on some gushing scribblings about Phil Spector that John Lennon wrote in a letter years back.

As the commentary says - "Perhaps Spector should’ve called this piece as a character witness at his murder trial!"
