I came across this interactive billboard on Design You Trust and the post was submitted by adamfuhrer.
The interactive billboard allows the general public to pick up a pen and contribute their own 'graffiti', or whatever it is you want to call it, to the billboard, leaving a (pseudo) permanent mark on the display. The user can choose whatever colour and compose whatever message they want to broadcast to passers by.
I really love this kinda thing. It's a nice simple technology that allows for public collaboration in a really light hearted manner, even Sharpie's choice of using the plaster cast on the poster is a master stroke. I'm really annoyed I didn't think of it first...
Keeping the same theme on public interaction and stuff, I came across CBS Outdoor Alive while I was in London recently. This is a really interesting concept as it's really related to my research topic that I'm going to be doing for my Masters thesis this year.

It's simple. Storytelling is broken online. We've fixed it.
Here are some of the highlights:
Heekya is the Wikpedia of Stories, a social storytelling platform that is changing the way consumers create, share, and discover stories. Free. Fun. Easy. 60 seconds. See it here: http://heekya.com/preview.php
What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) drag and drop story editor. Import all media (photo, video, text, and audio) from third party services (Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, etc.)
Users grab and embed Heekya story widget across social networks (Facebook, MySpace, et. al) blogs (wordpress, blogger, twitter) personal websites and via e-mail and instant message.
Ability to re-mix and mashup other stories, retelling them from a consumers own vantage point, that will keep user engagement levels high and attract more traffic virally, as people share and re-share stories.
Storytelling is at the core of human existence. We're building Heekya to unlock powerful stories of people all over the world and empower them to share their story with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
