Mon, Oct 31, 2011
Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone has a safe holiday!
What Tools Were Super This Past Week?
- Blippar — is an augmented reality tool designed to function similarly to a QR code reader, but without the QR codes.
- Later, Spam! — helps you fight Twitter spam and earn points for doing it.
- Know Your Twitter Followers — reveals demographic information about your Twitter followers … if you can stand a long wait; it’s currently in beta and flooded with requests.
- 7 Billion & Me — documents the world population as it rises past the 7 billion mark.
What Else Was Super?
- Klout updated its algorithm, which was not met with a lot of enthusiasm as many saw their score drop dramatically with no explanation given.
- As a result of the financial protest movement, “occupy” became a banned search term in China, which is not super, actually, and not surprising either.
- The X Factor USA television show announced it would allow viewers to vote via Twitter.
- The Obama 2012 campaign launched “Obama for America” on Tumblr.
What Super Stuff Happened To You?
- I played quite a bit more with Spotify, and I’m enjoying it.
- I got to dig in on a secret project at work. Shhh! Don’t tell anybody!
What Will Be Super Next Week?
- You tell me!
- Don’t forget that you can follow these roundups each week via email if you like.
