New Tool (and Service) Chest

Here are a bunch of new tools and service we recently learned about from KillerStartups.com. Perhaps one or more of them will be of interest to you and/or those you work with.

+ Seonik

Seonik is a search engine friendly link generator, currently in beta. It works basically like any URL shortening service, however, with a twist as it goes beyond the simple crunching. Enter a URL and Seonik will spit out a more people friendly version like this http://seonik.com/whatever-whatever.html.

+ Glubbe.com - Google Redux

Glubbe.com, for all intents and purposes, is a Google clone. It looks Google. It feels like Google, and it sort of sounds like Google. But, it’s open source and currently in development. Glubbe provides you with the standard search bar. You can conveniently click below to specify where you want to search: the web, images, video, audio and blogs. There’s even a search query archive so you can see what others have looked up.

+ PriceHub.com - Actual Sales Prices For Cars

Shopping for a used car? If so, you should check out PriceHub. This site will give you the real low down on prices. Buyers and sellers will actually be able to see the real, actual value for their cars and trucks. Think of it as Zillow for the auto market. As a consumer, you can submit the concrete price you paid for your car, so that others can benefit, learn and see not merely projected values, but true, transaction worth. Used car buyers are able to see what’s worth what; sellers on the other hand can get a feel for how much they can really charge based on car prices with similar mileage and options.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
