Kickbee: track fetal movements on Twitter
Dec 14th
Geek expectant father Corey Mensche came with a device that hooked on a pregnant woman, sends Twitter updates when the baby moves. Device is based on piezo sensors that react to small movements and sends some date via bluetooth to a laptop and from there update are posted to Twitter.
Crazy world but if you think twice the gimmick is quite useful because you can track and keep a history of in-womb baby movements – so monitor the health and well being of your future child, remotely

Google in 2001
Oct 2nd
Google has made available for a limited time period and in honor of their 10th birthday (until mid November) their oldest search index, back from 2001. Pretty nice walk in the past, I even found some relevant results for my online activity, 7 years ago: positions #1 and #2 are mine, while position #3 is my fathers’.
I invite you to do the same “vanity search” in 2001 Google and see if you left any traces online from back then 
Later update: Searching the names of todays’ Romanian online industry VIPs, I found some interesting results:
- Orlando Nicoara – March 22nd 1999, doing some business as the Internet Marketing Director of NewsSurfer
- Calin Fusu and Vlad Stan giving some testimonials: Calin, as admin of RoGenerator and Vlad as GM of allonline.ro
- Cristian Manafu as web editor in DMOZ for the World > Românã > Afaceri > Publicitate category
- and probably not Zoso, but someone having the same real name as him, who at age 19 committed some felony

Microsoft’s Lame Disclaimer for not having an OSX version, originally uploaded by Chewbacka.
If you want to try-out Microsoft’s new Photosynth technology on a Mac you are up for a nice surprise:
Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.
Relax…

…and draw in the sand, hear the waves and seagulls, have an ice-cold beer with some fresh lime. All this and more on probably the most refreshing and nicely done brand websites I’ve ever seen – The Corona Beach

Trying out uberVU

uberVU is a service where you can post your content to a variety of platforms (blogging, picture-sharing, video-sharing platforms) and see the responses from a single location. It’s currently in Beta and I thought I’d try it out to see how it goes. In short, I’m posting this with from uberVU.
This entire post, except the current paragraph was automatically inputted in a new blogpost from uberVU so you can spread the love and tell people about this great product. I bet that uberVU will be a huge success once they are out of beta.
Posted with uberVU – say hello to the whole world

400+ comments for a blank post
May 27th
Techcrunch did it again. Following Twitter’s lack of availability during the last days, Michael Arrington posted a blank post that made over 400 comments in 2 days. Probably it will be one of the most popular posts of Techrunch all time. Just check some of the hillarious video comments
This is somewhat similar to Bobby Voicu’s confirmation that he’s got the job as Romania Yahoo! Community Manager. Posts with no content but that convey a lot of insight.
And since we talked about Twitter, feel free to follow me in those moments of service availability
