Forecast Your Weather – WWHIM

sree — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:34:01 +0000

What it does:
WWHIM (pronounced whim) is an informative website that provides weather information in an interactive and easy interface. Visitors can sort weather forecasts within a user defined radius from hot to cold or filter weather conditions to only see the weather they desire. When a destination is selected, useful links to travel planning sites are provided. WWHIM also provides weather notifications for users who wish to be notified when their favorite location reaches a user-defined temperature. WWHIM caters to a variety of travel enthusiasts including couples, families, the retired RV’ers and college students.

How it beats the competition:
What sets WWHIM apart from other weather websites is the interactive searching and filtering capabilities. Competitors only allow a user to search the weather at a desired location, where WWHIM takes the approach in reverse – searching for a location with a desired weather. Users can sort, refine and filter their weather search in several ways, allowing for a fresh approach to travel planning – letting the weather forecast be the guide.

Campussizle.com – Sizzling Campus Search

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:00:34 +0000

What it does:
What is Campussizzle?
Simply put, Campussizzle is an online extension of your campus noticeboard. Right now, everyone uses the noticeboard to put up advertisements about events happening around college, about stuff they want to sell, stuff they want to buy, services they offer, services they need etc. We have put all of that and more, online on one website.

Why do we think it is useful?
We happen to think this is extremely beneficial to every student. Listings on the campus noticeboard can only be seen by people who have physical access to it, i.e. who can visit it to post their ads, to browse through other ads etc. But what about outstation students, or students who live away from campus, or students who simply can’t be bothered to walk all the way to the noticeboard? That’s where we come in. We have created this simple yet ingenious solution to all your problems. Using a website to post and view ads is a LOT cheaper (free) and less time consuming than advertising through the noticeboard or newspapers. (Yup, that means a lot more money to spend on more important things such as that bag you’ve been dying to buy, or the new ipod.) Your advertisements can be a lot longer and more detailed than they would on the noticeboard, and you don’t have to worry about them getting replaced or ripped off. If words aren’t enough to describe the amazing product you have to sell, you can even include a photo to show it off!

What can you do with it?
This is your space. Use it to post advertisements about anything you want to buy, anything you want to sell or an upcoming event that you want to tell people about!

Looking for accommodation? Looking for a housemate? Looking for a tutor?*
All you have to do is log on to the website and select your university on the top, and then select a category from the left to see all the advertisements in the area near you. Search by keyword and filter the results by campus area or to find relevant postings in the area near you.

Want to sell a book? Want to sell your old laptop? Need a job? Need to start a car pool?*
You can also post advertisements specifying what you need to buy or sell using the option on the right hand side of the site. Simply fill in the basic details about your service or product, and verify your e-mail address to have the advertisement posted on the site within minutes.

Want to tell people about your upcoming play? Need to publicize your college fest?*
Publicize events by selecting the ‘post an event’ option on the right hand side of the screen. Fill in the details about your event, add a description, add photographs or images and verify your e-mail address to have it added to the events calendar on the right.

*This list is only indicative and the actual list of categories is far more extensive. We could just go on and on and on and on…

How it beats the competition:
We are the first to come-up with this concept, so we don’t have competition online. But our competition will be noticeboards, newspaper ads. We think this will be extremely beneficial to every student. Listings on the campus noticeboard can only be seen by people who have physical access to it, i.e. who can visit it to post their ads, to browse through other ads etc. But what about students who live away from campus, or students who simply can’t be bothered to walk all the way to the noticeboard? That’s where we come in. We have created this simple yet ingenious solution to all your problems. Using a website to post and view ads is a LOT cheaper (free) and less time consuming than advertising through the noticeboard or newspapers. Your advertisements can be a lot longer and more detailed than they would on the noticeboard, and you don’t have to worry about them getting replaced or ripped off.

Mixero.com – Muting The Noise On The Social Web

Charles — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:00:35 +0000

Today’s information streams are characterized by an amount of noise that can be more than noticeable sometimes. This startup aims to do something about it and reduce that interference, lowering it all the way to zero whenever that is possible.

The fact remains that people on Twitter (one of the main “live” channels along with the emerging Buzz) do not unfollow others as often as they should, many times out of politeness and not wanting to offend friends. A system like Mixero is the right way to deal with these lists which are oversaturated with followers, and that are brimming with information generated by people we are frankly far from connected with. What Mixero does is to refine both Twitter and Facebook streams as much as possible, and it does so by way of many filters and the option of grouping individuals together to keep them out of the way.

Both a desktop version of Mixero and an iPhone app are already available and procurable through the site. It is interesting to stress that the iPhone version can be synced with the desktop app for ease of use.

My6Sense – A Smarter Feed Reader for the iPhone

Charles — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:20:22 +0000

At this very moment, at this very villa in the Israeli city of Hertzeliya Pituach, the final preparations are being made for what can be best described as ‘TwitterSense’—a way to automatically filter your Twitter stream so that the most relevant Tweets come out on top. The location in question is the home of my6sense, which currently offers a powerful way to filter news feeds. It is applying its filtering technology to Twitter and by the looks of it you’ll soon be able to follow as many Twitter users as you want and still never miss out on the most important tweets.

It took insistent prodding on my part to get my6sense to spill some of the beans and give me a sneak peak. The good news is that TwitterSense (my term, not theirs) is real and it works. The bad news is that it’ll take a couple of more months to be deployed. And yes, it could greatly improve the way we consume Twitter streams.
