Igor Lebovic demos Calorie-Count.com, a weight-tracker/diet-tool (partly) developed in Austria and recently sold to About.com (owned by the New York Times). after being online for three years, Calorie-Count.com attracts 24mio pageviews per month. I didn’t try it out yet, but according to Igor the site features an intelligent recipe-parser, allowing users to enter ingridients in [...]
at Barcamp, Walter Rafelsberger just did a nice demo of Rhizome Navigation, an application framework for building 3D-interfaces for navigating statistical data like web-server logs (similar to Digg’s swarm-feature) or user-attention data. try out the Java-frontend, download the demo or see this analysis of austria’s political parties’ manifestos using Rhizome Navigation.

Google launched a major revamp of their online RSS-reader earlier today. while the initial product has been critizied among the blogosphere for being somewhat half-hearted, this release seems to get it right (see TechCrunch or Scoble). new features include counters for unread messages, folder-based navigation, continuous scrolling (this one is cool!) and easy sharing of [...]
Feedvertising offers bloggers – no matter how big their readership (actually the service turns down low-traffic sites) – a free & easy way to sell advertising-space in their RSS-feeds. Feedvertising works without changing the feed-URL, instead ads are inserted into the feed by a plugin extending the blogging-software (currently only Wordpress [self-hosted] is supported, with [...]
as anticipated by many customers, Apple quickly released a follow-up to the bemoaned 7.0 release of iTunes. iTunes 7.0.1 (both windows and mac osx) “addresses stability and performance issues with Cover Flow, CD importing, iPod syncing, and more”. however, feedback on the update indicates that some problems still persist, so I was glad to find [...]
sometime last night, the Songbird-developers hatched released version 0.2 Test Flight, therefor lifting the Mozilla-based opensource audio-player officialy into Beta. Songbird comes with a built-in Wikipedia-plugin, a cool example of what the integration of browser & player can do: browsing artist-pages in Wikipedia, Songbird automatically offers all linked audio-tracks/samples for playback. the new Audioscrobbler-extension connects [...]
ThinkFree previewed an AJAX Edition of their online Office suite on DEMOfall last weekend, promising increased performance compared to the Java-only version (reviewed here), roundtrip compatibility with Microsoft Office (meaning that it’s possible to exchange documents back and forth without losing layout or data) and improved collaboration features. compared to most competitors, ThinkFree currently offers [...]
Google added some minor enhancements to their online-calendar today. the new features seem not to be fully rolled out to all servers yet, but according to Lifehacker it’s nothing too exciting – integration of weather forecasts, moon-calendar and the ‘Doodle’-header image known from the search engines frontpage. while that’s kindof lame, I’m starting to get [...]
Tooum’s Switchboard (currently in public beta) is a free, hosted service integrating popular blogging-features with classic discussion-based forum-functioniality. although Switchboard offers only very limited functionality at the moment, the basic idea seems appealing and could very well lead to a solid Wordpress-plugin…
