We could say it’s a upgraded facebook activity feed that looks like your own the new york times or vogue. The iPad presented the developers with the perfect platform for they innovative application. The popularity of the app once lauched on the Appstore was massive and even blocked the servers.

Everyone in the industry is trying to get a piece of the cake. Let’s see how it develops

Job Prize is a new website platform that wants to introduce itself in the recruiting market. As we all know network and referals are what recruiting and finding  a job is all about. Either you do it yourself or you use a recruitment agency.

This divides the market into to different groups.

1. Job Seekers – The seeker is a simple person who is looking for the perfect job
2. Prize Hunters – Is what you could call a agent that looks for opportunities and offers them to job seeker.

This is nothing new it is the job agencies do all the time and they are thousands of them. But what this website brings is that it becomes a “crowd-sourced agency” the community is run by itself and every one can have a go, furthermore they have nothing to loose. Everyone can also be both a seeker or a hunter.

For a seeker he has the advantage of benefiting from interesting job opportunities, on the other side the prize hunter can enjoy reward for the jobs he posts. Basically the slogan is “who wouldn’t pay 500 dollars to lend a 75’000 dollars job”.

I’m still waiting to see if it is a success, the main risk is that agencies could easily introduce themselves in there and kind of defeat the purpose of real referral. To be followed

 

Welcome to JobPrize – The Online Job Referral Network.

Location based apps are all in the hype at the moment. But to be honest it is a small revolution, people can be connected to places to areas which means they can be provided with much more relevant information on their surroundings. People want to be connected to people locally and want information about their very own environement. Google already understood that a long time ago, when you are based in Siberia you are more likely to be directed to siberian websites logical.

What anttenna does, as they call it, is to facilitate person-to-person exchanges in real-time. What you must be thinking now is well Graiglist already does that. One difference is that antenna is more focused on day-to-day small exchanges or events, some exemples are:  Got an extra ticket? Need an extra ticket? Lost your dog? Having a yard sale or an open house?

It turns traditional classified listings into geo-tagged twitter sized microlistings. Which makes those listings more efficient with a nice push notification which alerts you when something is happening close to your location . The real innovation i think is the it considerably reduces the length of  the traditional exchange process. Please see bellow a video that illustrates the app and an illustration of the 3 step it takes to make a successful exchange.

How Anttenna Works – Mobile Advertisements.

We’ve always all dreamt about wireless energy. The world is that why we want everything to be wireless. No cable and less infrastructure.

Imagine a house with one simple generator that powers every single device without any cable. You wouldn’t even have to think to charge your phone, it will simply charge from your pocket as soon as you are close en enough to the “generator”.

The first question that comes up when you talk about wireless electricity is SAFETY, people are worried about safety and they are totally right who wants to take the risk of being electrocuted just for the sake of innovation. Well Wi-Tricity is totally safe as electricity travels through a magnetic force which is completely harmless to us humans. You can walk in and of the magnetic field and not feel anything at all, while your tv is being powered up!

What is surprising is that Wi-Tricity has been discovered a while ago, the question is why don’t we here about it more often! Of course cables are cheaper and “safer” but imagine the marketing potential that could have if apple came out with a wireless iphone charger.

Watch the video and now start to imagine your life with such technology!

Today’s world is all about consumption…What we buy, what we do, what we give etc…So basically spending money can more or less explain our daily activities.

Twitter is all about telling everyone what you are doing, and we know how popular it became. But I’ve never been convinced, not enough people can be bothered to actually write down those things. If this could be done automatically evrytime they do something with their creditcard, no effort would be made.

Imagine you go to starbucks buy a coffee, swipe your card, type your pin, and the press ok if you want you’re purchase to be put online!.

You’re friends can keep track of what you are doing. I think it’s a good idea pretty much an upgrade of the services VISA/MASTERCARD offers today.

I would be willing to try. But I would be pissed off to see some of my friends purchases if I can’t aford them ahahah

With todays geolocalization technologies and hightech mobile devices. Us The crowd can become a public CIA. Taking pictures, videos of what we see and just sharing it with our world with precise GPS localization.

The first idea that came to my mind was: what if we could know where every cop is in our city. I wouldnt mind taking a picture of cop when ever I see one. And i would be delighted to be notified if one is approaching my parked car. Its all about crowd sourcing to help the community. Everyone has a mobile device, if a community commits to actively spot things it can become very precise.

It takes about 30 seconds to take your iphone, open the “copspotter” app and just clicking OK. Everybody would be ready to do this on a daily basis if they know they can avoid fines regularly. The app would notify people in a 5 km radius, or accutally the user can locate on the map where his car is parked and everytime a cop is spotted in a 2km radius he gets notified.

Seems like innovation is really going to be coming from mobile devices. Location-Based Social Network is the new hype. I see it like a new and better Twitter, At last it becomes fun and useful to say and share what you are doing and where you are.

It’s all based on checking-in to place you are in and sharing you experience there with your friends. It’s compatible with facebook and twitter so even users that don’t use the app can see you activity. It’s all a bit geeky for the moment but I am sure it will explode very soon. The two companies have made partnership with big brands who obviously saw the marketing potential of such apps.

One exemple who wants a loyalty card, we always loose them, well with those apps you can just reward people who come often to your restaurant for exemple.

I see a butch a location based apps coming in the horizon, it actually got me thinking and loads of ideas came up I will post them soon.

The thing I really like about those apps is that they are fun to use and more your friends use it the better it gets. But I see real potential if it manages to do what google latitude didn’t manage to do, locate your friends! ( by the way the guy from Foursquare Dennis Crowley was taken on board by google and left because they have a “hopeless social media strategy”.

One scenario imagine you have a 4 friends in 4 different clubs and you dunno where to go. Open up the app check where they checked-in look at what they said or even photos ( i hope soon videos) and pick the best place to go to!

I think it’s an amazing tool especially for people who don’t speak english as a native language. And It’s FAST!!

For exemple a texte of 400 words will be sent back to you in around 20 minutes for a fee of around 8 euros.

They even developed a plugin for wordpress that automatically checks your blog posts in order to make them perfect. I think this can be a very useful tool for loads of people, furthermore adding a translating option would attract even more people

A company called Greenbutts has developed are all-natural, it is a 100%  biodegradable filters, furthermore when thrown on soil the inner seed becomes grass shoots or even flowers. It aims to solve the problem of cigarettes filters today that take up to 15 years to disintegrate. And apparently it makes cigarettes taste better.

Compared to Old technology

Most cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate. Technically it is biodegradable, practically it’s not very true. The duration of the degradation process can take as long as 10–15 years. When you think 4.5 trillion cigarette butts become litter every year and this number is growing, this means 10-15 is way to long. In the 2006, cigarettes constituted 24.7% of the total collected pieces of garbage, 2x than any other category. Further more  filters slowly degrade into the ground and water supplies with the cellulose acetate and other chemical particles that are suspected of causing harm in humans,
