Marcel Neuhausler's World

What a brilliant idea! Google Co-op lets you define your own search engine, you define what sites should get included in your own Google search.

"Harness the power of Google search to create a free Custom Search Engine that reflects your knowledge and interests. Specify the websites that you want searched - and integrate the search box and results into your own website."

.. and as a nice side effect for Google, it gets information filtering for free, and of course, some more revenue from their ads, shared partially with you.. just brilliant ..

..kind of hard for me .. but I have to say, this editor from Microsoft to create or edit blog posts looks pretty cool .. and it has an amazing preview mode! .. and it even works with MoveableType ..

"YBox is a prototype/proof-of-concept for an ultra-cheap, always on, internet appliance that attaches to a standard TV set. The YBox is like Konfabulator for TV, turning TV into a platform for helpful, easy-to-read, live internet "channels". It was created for Yahoo's first open "hack day", Hackday 2006, where it took 2nd place."

.. just an interesting "client" .. I'm pretty sure, we will see more of those "things" connected to the internet .. another example: chumby ..

.. by the way, the YBox is a project of a company named Uncommon Projects .. cool name ..

"Welcome to alphaWorks Services: online delivery of emerging software services from IBM research and development labs."

"alphaWorks services are on-demand applications developed by various teams throughout IBM Research. The services are prototypes of emerging technologies and concepts available as online applications through any Web browser. Services are provided at no charge, along with community features such as forums and supporting content specific to each service."

.. for example: ADIEU:
"Ad Hoc Development and Integration Tool for End Users (ADIEU) is a radically simplified programming tool for development of Web services and Web applications in minutes and hours instead of days, weeks, and months."

.. sounds at least fancy .. by the way, 'ADIEU' means 'goodby' in other languages, don't exactly know if that is a good choice for a name ;-) ..
