holiday roundup
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007back from my 5day-trip to Barcelona, which rather feels like a 4week vacation regarding all the news that have happened last week. here my personal favorites:
- Jason Calacanis launches his infamous ‘Project X’ - Mahalo is a human-powered search-engine with editorial results aiming at the fat head rather than the long tail of search-queries. further insight on Mahalo in this video-interview of Jason by Loic Lemeur.
- Google releases Gears, a developer API similar to Dojo Offline. based on a browser-extension (currently Firefox & Internet Explorer only), Gears enables offline web-applications utilizing a local SQL-storage & a local webserver.
- music recommendation service & social network Last.fm was aquired by broadcasting network CBS. in other news, Last.fm has now an official blog.
