Join our FriendFeed Room!

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

A little while ago, I created a room on Friendfeed.com for all us creatives that float round them parts. Member numbers are up to over 55, and as far as I’m concerned - the more the merrier! Fantastic content, images, links, resources and sketches are being posted to the group daily.

So please - check out Designers Who Design Things on Friendfeed :-)

Powerset, Faviki, and this past week

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

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

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

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!.
