Powerset, Faviki, and this past week
A quick round-up of my favourite trends across the web-o-cube this week is part useful list, part excuse to post. So, without further ado…
Powerset Kind-of Launches
Powerset, a “semantic, natural-language search engine” loudly launched an Alpha this week, covering Wikipedia and Freebase content. Some were unimpressed, some have covered the entire hoo-haa in gigantic, but brilliant, blog posts.
Faviki Steals My Heart With Bookmarks
After reading a post on Y Combinator, I found Faviki, and fell in love. Everything is simple, but effective and efficient. I can post a bookmark through the bookmarklet, tag it with semantic tags, and add a comment. The system then knows the topics that I bookmark, and in the sidebar gives a good rundown of the tags. But they don’t feel like tags, more organised catagories. The site is based on DBpedia. Heres my profile!
And, of course, HP buying EDS seemed ridiculously odd. I cancelled my Plaxo account, too. Oh, and before I forget, I love friendfeed - love it with me!.
Many web hosting companies offer domain registration in addition to dedicated servers, availing this business opportunity fully.

Faviki seems cool, but Friend feed to me covers that base too. Really what else do I need to bookmark?

Solacetech: You use Friendfeed to bookmark pages? To me, Faviki replaces del.icio.us, and gives me a clearer picture of what people tend to read.
Would love to hear what you mean!
Thanks for the comment.
