Information overload is a topic that keeps coming up, especially among users of social media services. As you add more friends and more services, the amount of content produced can become overwhelming to keep up with which leads to quality items being lost amongst the "noise." Noise-reducing apps like AideRSS or Moopz (both of which we love) highlight the best content, but their one drawback is that they determine relevance based on what the community ...

Last month, we told you about Iceberg, an application that allows anyone to be a developer by simplifying programming into a process that can be done via easy-to-use DIY tools. More recently, another company called Cascada Mobile launched a platform that does the same for the mobile world. With their new platform, Cascada Breeze, anyone can program mobile apps. This makes us wonder - is democratizing programming the next big trend for the future of ...

Today I have found a very interesting blog Cloudnotes about notetaking and bookmarking on the web, or notemarking.. The term “NOTEMARKING” is coined by blog author. Author’s preliminary definition Notemarking is “The use of software, either client- or web-based, to store, organize, search, manage, and potentially share or synchronize information, including—but not limited to—Web content and hyperlinks.” Blog author points out blog content: “This blog is born out of frustration.

Yahoo! is taking a bold step tonight: opening up its index and search engine to any outside developers who want to incorporate Yahoo! Search's content and functionality into search engines on their own sites. The company that sees just over 20% of the searches performed each day believes that the new program, called BOSS (Build Your Own Search Service), could create a cadre of small search engines that in aggregate will outstrip their own market ...

Can't come up with a winning strategy yourself, let others do it for you. At this point Yahoo really has to try anything it can just to keep itself from imploding...the sad thing is that some of the recent initiatives they have launched have been pretty decent but overshadowed by the Microsoft debacle.

Last month US Presidential hopeful John McCain announced an ambitious new proposal that would award a $300 million prize to the inventor of a better battery for powering automobiles. It is a laudable idea and one that could tackle some of the biggest problems the world faces - but it's a proposal grounded in last-century thinking none the less. On July 1st the British government launched a smaller but radically different project. Show Us a ...

Eight months ago we wrote about the launch of oAuth 1.0, asking if the standard would lead to a flood of mashups across the web. A standard method of authenticating users across different services means that mashup builders need only write one authentication ...
