Could this be the beginning of data feeds for AI? Taking feeds from all social networks and consolidating them into a common protocol?
No doubt Google is already indexing most of the information that Gnip will be transmitting, but we can't help but think that Gnip will be in a uniquely powerful position to do some mining of anonymized user data and social graphs. That could…
You might have a Mac at home, a PC at work, and an iPhone or iPod touch. The challenge is keeping multiple devices always in sync. Enterprises can use a server like Exchange. For everyone else, now there's MobileMe.

There are thousands of new services that pop up every day. Too many services imitate, and only a handful innovate. Competition on the web is stiff and users are demanding more from the services they join. Here's a quick look at what Facebook, Twitter, and Friendfeed did right.
Search The integrated search function on the Twitter site isn't all that useful. It took over a year for the feature to be implemented and like Facebook, Twitter apps do the job better. While search is basic on Twitter, search engines like…

Most sites these days have RSS feeds but for those few that don't this service is perfect. Just make sure you put the www. in front of the URL or it will give you an error

Although there are several commercially available feed aggregators, it’s easy to develop your own feed aggregator, which you can integrate with your Web applications. You’ll appreciate this article’s fully functional PHP code snippets, demonstrating the use of PHP-based server-side functions to develop a customizable RSS feed aggregator.
As Web-based information sources grow pervasively, content providers and content consumers are presented with several challenges. For content providers, a main challenge is their ability to stand out from the crowded competition and attract as…

RSS is a big deal, as anyone who’s subscribed to even a few feeds probably knows. Once you get past just a few feeds, though, it can quickly get overwhelming. RSS can leave you feeling inadequate, brain-dead and uninspired.
I recently started using http://www.shyftr.com for feed reading. It is similar to fav.or.it, but more demanding geeks will prefer shyftr. I am trying to take as many tasks off of my desktop as possible, so I can access as much as possible, from as…

Lifestreaming apps generally fall into two categories: those that help you keep track of and display your own lifestream and those that help you keep track of your friend’s lifestreams (or both). For the sake of clarity, we’ve focused mainly on the former for this list.
I got to this through Laughing Squid's Friendfeed stream. This seems like the logical extension of having so many competing services vying for our internet time. Facebook Aps seems like a way to try to put it all in one spot, but it is so…

PageOnce takes the information appropriate to each account and displays it in a Netvibes/PageFlakes-like layout. Use it to view how many cell minutes you have left, the balance of your credit card/bank account (use with caution..), updates to your social network, and much more. Link to try out the closed beta is in the story.
Fully agree that security and privacy is the key issue. Without strong crypto, or full assurance of account info. handling, no way I would hand over my financial acct. info. More scary, is the TC poster did not even touch on this, just how well…
