Here’s an idea I’ve been brewing for a while now: distributed computing as a web service. It’s like SETI@home, but with an open API. You download the P2P client to your machine and agree to donate some spare CPU cycles and perhaps a bit of storage. In fact, “donate” is probably the […]

Doug Martin just gave me the lowdown on LookLater, his new bookmarking site. He writes:
LookLater allows you to create instant searchable bookmarks with a single click into a private archive. Context around the link, page or image is automatically saved. You can then post bookmarks to del.icio.us or other social bookmarking sites […]

So the lovely people over at Corante have been working away on their latest venture: Corante Hubs. Today they launched three new hubs - the Media Hub, the Marketing Hub and Mashable’s new home away from home, the Web Hub. Mashable won’t change, but my posts will now be aggregated with more top-notch […]

I think Google might have something to say about this one:

G2G is a website where you can easily share files, which are at your Gmail, with each other. You register at the website with your Gmail login data and your Gmail account will be indexed. After that everyone can see your files (including support for […]

My roundup of online storage solutions led to a great discussion, including this post, which adds another storage solution to the list: Mozy. The Mozy team will happily give you 1GB free online storage, so long as you allow them to spam you. What’s more, they’ll give you 2GB free if you provide […]

Filangy appears to be another social search play. It features personalized search (based on your bookmarks and browsing history), social search and tagging. It reminds me of Collaborative Rank, the search engine based on del.icio.us bookmarks. From the Filangy site:
We created Filangy because we felt that as the Internet has grown it […]

Last week there was a lot of talk about Riffs, with Jeff Jarvis and Michael Arrington both suggesting that Riffs is too centralized - clearly, we need a service which aggregates reviews, rather than forcing people to rewrite their content across multiple sites. People already write reviews on their blogs - so why not […]

Openomy launched last week - it’s essentially an online file system with an open API. All users currently receive 1GB free storage. I’ve been following this project for a long while now because I find the idea of open storage fairly compelling. In practice, however, this setup will be really difficult to […]

Ken King sent me an email about Transcribr, his new podcast transcription service. From the site:
If a podcast goes out on the web and no-one hears it, does it make a sound? Help your audiences find and use your podcasts with enhanced searchability and indexing! Simply point Transcribr at your audio URL and […]

Alex Barnett made me do it! He’s been evangelizing this whole OPML as attention thing for so long that I thought I’d try out OPML Manager, a web-based solution for organizing your OPML lists. I’ve now uploaded my blogroll to the service - you can explore it here. I’ve also put […]
