Splurb.com - Gauging Popularity In A Different Way

Aggregators come in all shapes and colors. The content, though, does not change that much. This new online resource aims to make something of a difference by highlighting stories in a different manner. The basic premise is that these stories that do become listed on Splurb are featured because they have been included in more than one popular social site. The links are then sorted not only by popularity (a la Digg) but also by the actual number of sources. The concept is nothing radical, but it gives every item that is featured at least an added ounce of credibility.

FamiliLink.com - The WWW & Older Family Members

With the possibilities that the social web brings in terms of connectivity, it is certainly a shame that older people are sometimes left out of the picture because they are not proficient enough so as to sit in front of a desktop and find their way there. This is all the more disappointing if only because elder individuals crave for human contact more than anybody else. Just think how realized they would feel if they could immerse themselves in something like Facebook, watch the drawings of their grandchildren and keep in touch with the activities of their sons who ...  read more

AuthorMapper.com - Mapping Authors Out

In today’s global society, we often come across articles from authors hailing from places we can just not pinpoint. Of course, if we come across an article penned by a certain Takahashi Tanaka we know where does that person come from. The same goes for an article authored by someone named Alessandro Luca. But what if the writer is named Luis Perez? Or John Stewart? How can we tell the writer’s country of origin? A site like Author Mapper has just surfaced in order to tackle that conundrum.

Generally speaking, it is a search engine that will empower you to ...  read more

Some of the recent rush might have evanesced, but Twitter is still standing proud. In fact, this week the very first tweeting device ever was released by Peek. Whether it catches on or not is besides the point – it just underlines how popular Twitter is. To think that a company saw enough commercial potential to release a device that does not even let you navigate the Internet or check your e-mails is amazing.

Ninite.com - Installing Multiple Apps Simultaneously

The most heinous aspect of upgrading to a new OS is that you have to install everything from scratch again. That is so unpalatable that I am surprised there are not a hundred applications like Ninite already available. To put it in simple words, it is a kind of wizard that will let you choose which apps you want to install from a list, and then sit back and stretch while the installation process goes into autopilot.

Some of the apps and tools you can install using Ninite include web browsers, messaging tools, media players and antivirus software. The full list...  read more

Twanye.com - Making Comparisons Like Kanye West

Good Ol’ Kanye West. He has been the talk of the social web for some time now. And as if he hadn’t been parodied enough for his “outburst”, now we have yet another site that humors the whole incident. In this specific case, though, the site has something of a useful purpose since people can compare different items and products through it.
