Blerp.com - A New Way To Communicate

Blerp is a new and interesting service that will let anybody annotate the web. The use of such a service is that it makes user interaction possible everywhere - even in those sites that do not allow users to participate or post feedback in any way. It could be said that Blerp transforms the WWW into a great and open forum where everybody can express himself.

This form of expression is not limited to just plain text - far from it, you can make rich comments featuring videos and pictures alongside the text, or upload just an image or a video as the comment itself. After all, an image ca...  read more

HighDEAS.com - The Best Ideas Ever

This site is worth a mention because the basic premise leads to some hilarious postings by site users. You see, this online resource lets anybody post the top ideas he has had while being high. Now, I don’t use drugs, and reading a site like this one I am reminded exactly why I keep away from that. Look at this featured idea: “Take a normal bowl and invent a way to split the glass perfectly symmetrical so when a good amount of resin builds up inside you can just pop it open and get a nice res ball. Then when you're done cleaning it put it back together and smoke a very clean pipe”. Anoth...  read more

RipIE6.com - Rest In Peace IE6

Web developers might be a little sensitive when it comes to certain things, in the same way that a painter is irritated by some things that wouldn’t bother an ordinary person, or that a bus driver would be annoyed by something that others would not pay any heed to. That becomes apparent when you visit this website. In general terms, we can term it an obituary notice reading that IE6 has passed away. This obituary notice is geared towards those who refuse to upgrade their current web browser and stick to the now “defunct” one.

You might think that whoever devised this site went a...  read more

TwitTruth.com - The Truth About Twitter

The title I chose for this review is slightly misleading, as this site will not tell you anything about Twitter itself – rather, it will let you know more about those who use the service, and who are regarded as salient twitterers.

The site revolves around the activity of the top 500 Twitter users, and it showcases important information about their accounts. This information is broken down into different columns, and these include one that shows the number of messages that the user sends out per day, the chances that you have of the user answering back a direct message and the numbe...  read more

Scoopler.com - A Real Time Search Engine

Has Twitter changed because of the new influx of users after recent events (Kutcher vs. CNN, Oprah’s live tweet…)? Some might say that yes, it has changed. A good way to figure that out would be conducting a search of hot trends and see if these have swayed recently. That is, if people are tweeting about topics that have nothing to do with the topics that characterized Twitter beforehand, then we should sit down and analyze such a phenomenon minutely.

If you want to set about doing that, you might as well resort to this new search engine. It goes by the name of Scoopler, and it wi...  read more

Task.fm - Easy & Simple Reminders

Self-touted as “the world’s simplest reminder app”, Task.fm employs semantic technology in order to transform human speech into automatic reminders. These are sent mainly as text messages, but phone and e-mail reminders are likewise accounted for.

The technology itself is quite interesting, as it processes information in the way a person does, and (theoretically speaking) it should work in languages other than English provided the user does not employ words like “noon”, “dusk” and “midday”. It is the dates themselves that count, and these are universal.

Each...  read more

Twiew.com - An Easy Way To Share Videos On Twitter

This solution is self-defined as “The easy way to share videos on Twitter”. If you give it a glance, you will figure out that whoever devised it took that to heart. The site is virtually bereft of any advanced or refined option, and all it involves is a login section and a search engine. Once you have executed a search you can proceed to tweet the video on the spot by clicking on the link that reads “post”.

The one aspect that merits mentioning is that the search results take into account two of the most important service providers as of this date, namely YouTube and Vimeo. Yo...  read more
