Get Free Things and Give Away Unwanted Items – Freally

Charles — Mon, 10 May 2010 15:30:31 +0000

What it does:
At Freally, we are concerned about our earth and we want to do our part by promoting recycling and reuse.

We achieve this by allowing our members to give away their unwanted items to others who may need them.

In return, you can also receive and ask for free items from others.

Through this, we encourage people to reduce the amount of rubbish, make others happy and also make this earth happier.

And let’s face it, who doesn’t want to receive free things?

How it beats the competition:
Our primary competitor is Freecycle network. Freecycle network is, however, an outdated, yahoo-group based system, which is extremely hard to use. Moreover, the whole process of giving and receiving items is complex.

On the other hand, Freally has streamlined and simplified the entire process of giving and receiving, so that there is literally no learning curve in using our website.

Lastly, with a help of the latest technology tools such as Google map and social media tools (Facebook connect, Twitter connect), we are providing our users a much better experience!

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.
