A haptic navigational device that requires only the sense of touch to guide a user. No maps, no text, no arrows, no lights. momo sits in the palm of your two hands and navigates you to an end location by leaning and vibrating. Akin to someone pointing you in the right direction, there is no need to find your map, you simply follow as the device gravitates to your destination.

Geeesh! Kids nowadays... who knows what they're doin'? After blogging what next? Kudos to Vint Cerf and his internet he's opened a new hobby for kids who are in to writing - it's called blogging. Now not only that it has opened kids to write and publish it to the world with just one click, it also opened an opportunity for them to make money - plastering ads, making sponsored reviews and affiliating with the big guys just to name some. That's where we come in. We are here to feature the top 100 young guns who's doin' a pretty good job themselves - ranking high in the search engines, getting links back to their blogs and collecting a humongous amount of subscribers. Without further ado, here they are...

Everyone has storyz to tell and a lot of us have camera phones to tell them with. Now you have a solution that ensures your storyz reach your friends as the experience unfolds.

Most importantly you can choose multiple recipients directly from your phone book so that every story you create grows into a colorful group conversation. As one story ends, another one begins.

You see, you create music on Zephyr by touching the screen. While you could just draw gibberish, the point is to send a holiday message (the writing is in snow flakes) to someone elsewhere in the world. For example, in testing out the app I’ve already gotten the messages “Peace” and “Happy Holidays,” accompanied by the music made from writing those statements. If you like the message and/or the music, you can “love” it by hitting the heart icon on the screen. This will ensure that the message keeps getting passed around the world to more listeners.

ecomii™ was created to specifically address this need for a single credible and comprehensive resource for everything green. We believe that accuracy, objectivity and transparency are very important considering the amount of new “green” products on the market and conflicting information about what we can do to make a difference. That’s why we reference all claims and statistics with authoritative sources, and why our content is fact-checked with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), qualified experts, peer-reviewed research and official organizations.

a central catalog for the e-public to view parody and satire of drama, memes, e-pals and other interesting happenings on the internets. The goal is to provide comprehensive, reference-style parody, to poke fun at everyone and everything on the internet. While the articles themselves are mostly satirical jabs at Internet users (both individually and in groups) and phenomena, bear in mind that the Encyclopedia Dramatica itself is a parody of a much less funny online encyclopedia. As such, ED articles tend to make fun of the supposed objectivity and accuracy, elitism, and stupid edit wars of such sites. In other words, expect blatant, biased lies, and expect boring truths to get deleted quickly. ED's third purpose is to catalogue Internets phenomena. In this role, it's actually a fairly good reference for dramatic events and things like memes and netspeak, provided you bear in mind the first two purposes and take what you learn with a Girlmecha-sized grain of salt.

ASL University is an online curriculum resource for American Sign Language students, instructors, interpreters, and parents of deaf children.

The Halfbakery is a communal database of original, fictitious inventions, edited by its users. It was created by people who like to speculate, both as a form of satire and as a form of creative expression.

What became clear in the ensuing decade is that humans are not just part of the programming, but also sensors and actuators for computers. Our aggregate behavior is measured, monitored, and becomes feedback that improves the overall intelligence of the system. That is why I've said that the defining characteristic of Web 2.0 applications is that they "harness collective intelligence."

a free extension of MediaWiki – the wiki-system powering Wikipedia – that helps to search, organise, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki's content. While traditional wikis contain only texts which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, SMW adds semantic annotations that bring the power of the Semantic Web to the wiki.

The telecommuter is dead; meet the cloudworker (I made up the term for a contest). Commuting being an artifact of the work-life style of the Organization Man, the term telecommuter absolutely deserves to be retired in favor of one that captures the richness of what is actually going on. The cloudworker is the prototypical information worker of tomorrow. He overachieves or coasts remotely, collaborates or backstabs virtually, and delivers his gold or garbage to a shifting long-tail micro-market defined only by his own talents or lack thereof. The cloudworker manages personal microbrand equity and network social capital rather than a career. Over a lifetime, through recessions and bubbles, he navigates fluidly back and forth between traditional paycheck employment, slash-work and full, untethered-to-health-insurance free agency.

In this article, we'll analyze the trends and technologies that power the Semantic Web. We'll identify patterns that are beginning to emerge, classify the different trends, and peak into what the future holds. In a recent interview Tim Berners-Lee pointed out that the infrastructure to power the Semantic Web is already here. ReadWriteWeb's founder, Richard MacManus, even picked it to be the number one trend in 2008. And rightly so. Not only are the bits of infrastructure now in place, but we are also seeing startups and larger corporations working hard to deliver end user value on top of this sophisticated set of technologies.

eLens is a mobile phone application that allows citizens to interact with their urban environment. Users can tag the city and post messages in physical places. Examples of its functions include civic participation in governmental decision making, social networking and in the cultural life or the emergence of ad-hoc local communities. Simply by pointing their mobile device to a building or any other tagged location, users can access to the eLens network and leave or retrieve information in form of text, voice, image or movie. eLens augments the physical environment through location based information.

This ECAR research bulletin details the arguments emerging in the blogosphere and elsewhere both for and against the learning management system. It examines whether the LMS is destined to continue as the primary means of organizing the online learning experience for university students. The bulletin is a companion to an earlier ECAR research bulletin that examines the factors leading to the selection of the open source learning management system at the Open University in the United Kingdom.

Some 69% of online Americans use webmail services, store data online, or use software programs such as word processing applications whose functionality is located on the web. Online users who take advantage of cloud applications say they like the convenience of having access to data and applications from any Web-connected device. However, their message to providers of such services is: Let's keep the data between us.

Los Angeles-based Cognition Technologies today announced availability of their Semantic Map to the English language.

The ubiquitous keyword mode of Internet search technique is about to be taken over by a new breed of semantic search technology, according to analysts at research firm Ovum. While keyword search remains the most popular method, it is usually not accurate, with users sometimes getting up to 30,000 hits on a search and then having to sift through a list of loosely related keyword results to find relevant documents. "This where a new breed of so-called semantic technologies comes into the frame. Unlike ranking algorithms such as Google's PageRank for predicting relevancy, semantic search dips into the meaning in language to produce highly relevant search results," according to a report published by Ovum analysts Mike Davis and Madan Sheina.
