Innovative Technology of the Week | Koding

They are calling it "The Developer's Facebook," and after a successful beta run with 10,000 users and 70% of invited users signing up, the founders of Koding are optimistic about its future. The site allows developers to build their projects on a free development server that supports Java, NodeJS, Perl, Python, Ruby, C, C++, Go, and other languages. Users can then communicate and collaborate with other developer members on their projects.

“This project will try to push you to think differently in some ways, ways that you may not feel comfortable at times. It is not just about writing code, it is about thinking how teams and companies will be formed in the future. We will share more, protect less, that’s the idea."

Cool Technology of the Week | Wavii

Wavii's all encompassing tag line/mission is to "Make Facebook out of Google." Essentially compiling all the information across the internet (including search engines, social platforms, and accessible applications) for any given topic and arranging that information into an asthetically pleasing and navigable Facebook-esque newsfeed. It's a service you read about and go, "Huh, I guess we don't really have anything like that, do we?"  

"With the company's current service, for instance, users can set up a newsfeed dedicated to a particular person or topic. The service will alert you when anything big happens with Kim Kardashian, Mitt Romney, or IBM, and it will do so in plain English... Aoun and his engineering team have built a system that analyzes hundreds of thousands of articles, blogs, tweets, and other websites as they're posted to the net and then tags them with metadata that describes the information they hold."

However, the problem, critics are saying, is not getting all this information aggregated in real-time, it's making sure the information is qualified and relevant. Such an application is very enticing to the likes of trend abusing spammers like those on Twitter or content farms more concerned about selling ad space than providing useful content. We thinks they are bound to fight the same good fight as Google in sorting through information. But if they can figure that out, Wavii has our vote.
