Twing, the Alternate Search Engine

Allan Herman

Twing classifies itself as an alternate search engine and as it notes, only searches forums and forum discussions. Twing also notes that it "…aims to be the most comprehensive and highly targeted forum search engine for real people seeking real discussions and real information in real time." It will be interesting to see if it can truly bring into being what it suggests it can.
Twing, inside and out:
Not having a sufficient theory on just how Twing worked but interested enough to [...]

Yedda, Down the Cyber Toilet!

Allan Herman

"Imagine you could connect with someone who knows the answers to your questions, on any topic, at any time." - presenting Yedda, a network of individuals providing answers to other member questions based on personal and professional expertise. Alternatively, as noted on Yedda’s home page, "Actively finding the best answers from the most relevant people. Just for you."
At first glimpse, I recalled such network and advice columns as Ask.com, Shell Busey’s referral network, Harry Dunbar’s North American Tile and [...]

Yuwie, Social or Pyramid Network

Allan Herman

Yuwie, a more sophisticated Yaari? According to Yuwie, they are an online social networking service that allows their members to set up personal profiles for the purpose of linking to friends and sharing information, videos, blogs, and pictures, which it does, as it states, with a twist. Yuwie actually pays you for enticing new members into the fold.
Inside Yuwie
The home page is brilliant in its layout and Yuwie also displays a seemingly continuous flow of new member images and names [...]

TypeRoom, Edit Your Own Website Instantly

Allan Herman

TypeRoom, not what I had envisioned when I first heard the name. I, for reasons unknown even to myself had psychologically supposed it to be just another program to type text documents such as ThinkFree.  Founded by Reilly Sweetland, TypeRoom turns out to be a remote content management system that focuses on simple, scalable and innovative solutions to common web content management problems. In addition to the editing features offered by TypeRoom Lite, TypeRoom Professional will offer a full CMS [...]

Scribd, Publish Yourself Online

Allan Herman

Scribd, a self-publishing network, is a self-professed Silicon Valley startup founded in 2006 by Trip Adler, Jared Friedman and Tikhon Bernstam and as the story goes, “The idea was inspired when Trip and Jared wanted to publish some of their school papers online and couldn't find an easy way to do it. They hit upon the idea of making a website designed for people to share their documents with the world… Part of the idea behind Scribd is that everyone [...]

Connectture, a LinkedIn Wanna Be?

Allan Herman

Having received an invitation to join Connectture from one of my Plaxo business contacts and ever being on the prowl for options to expand my network in the most affirmative and proficient manner possible I decided to test it out.
As always, I start my evaluations of anything new with what my first impressions are. I will admit Connectture has a great icebreaker when it comes to first impression presentation. All those cheery faces and the enticing fact that Connectture [...]

PipeBytes, File transfers Made Easy

Allan Herman

PipeBytes, as it states, is a revolutionary way to transfer files to friends and coworkers across the miles, almost free.
As an avid connoisseur of transferring or exchanging files across the miles, I am always looking for a more rapid and reliable method of doing so with as little costs to me and defiantly no costs to the recipient. Gone are the days of Rogers high-speed cable service with its minuet flaw that with a little of a little proggie [...]

FreeIQ, Marketplace for Sharing or MLM

Allan Herman

Unfortunately, for me, FreeIQ is not the place to go to increase ones IQ level as I surmised when I first spotted the name. FreeIQ does however, offer what it terms a Marketplace for sharing ideas.
According to Brad Fallon, the founder of FreeIQ, “At Free IQ, the emphasis is placed on exchanging valuable information not frivolous entertainment. We believe that everyone knows something that is of value to someone else. We let people share that knowledge through video.”
FREE being [...]

Bubbl.us, Brainstorming Made Easy

Allan Herman

Kirill Edelman and Levon Amelyan, the creators of Bubbl.us inform us that it is “…a free website to help you brainstorm and organize ideas online.” “In traditional brainstorming, or “mind mapping”, one writes a central idea on a piece of paper, draws a circle around it and starts branching off with new ideas, creating a free form diagram.”

While Bubbl.us is not the in-depth equivalent of Mind Map or even Free Mind, which requires you to install Java 1.4, Bubbl.us, on [...]

Utterz, Be Herd

Allan Herman

“Utterz, be herd.” Personally, I find that phrase sounding like a bad pun that only a slow on the uptake city slicker could appreciate, and I mean bad. Would the program be any better? Utterz, in their own words, “is the first way you can instantly blog your experiences, thoughts and ideas, anywhere, using all the capabilities of your mobile phone. Utterz mashes together the voice, video, pictures, and text you call or send in and creates an 'Utter' that [...]
