RSSLive content matters
The content most sought after by TV channels is none other than the coverage of live events.
Enabling content shortening
Would it be useful to crowdsource the creation of summaries of texts to the readers of those texts?
Information building blocks
Information overload from passages propagated online can be reduced by breaking passages down to their components and summarising them.
Web Annotation & Social Bookmarking
Following the comment by Panagiotis (thanks!) on the previous post “The Real Read / Write Web“, I decided to do a little browsing around the Web Annotation and Social Bookmarking field and came up with a quick list of all the services I could find, with some short notes for each one. The web has [...]
Data management: availability or efficiency?
The problem of managing your data (whether in the cloud or locally) is a complicated one – as demonstrated by the recent Gmail outage.

Dimitris:
Thanks for reminding me that API - and that post. Incidentally, after our recent Wordpress upgrade we've been getting a bit of spam (I guess it's untill Akismet learns) - and it was a spam comment that brought that old post at the top of our ForumView plugin displaying recent discussions in that blog. That made you comment and start this conversation. Oh, the post-modern irony...

Did you find a solution for what you were looking for? I recently came across a tool called Lucid chart which we're using a bit here and there. It's not quite as sophisticated with the inputs but does allow you to embed it into a website quite easily. You can try some of the Venn diagram examples here without signing up to see if it's the right fit.

Absolutely right, I do agree with your post. By the way I work for church. We use web based church management software of Congregation Builder. It’s easy to enter data, and print reports. Church Web Calendar is really good application by this we can manage the events for church & lots more options available.

Here is another really good collaborative web-based mind mapping tool that might be worth looking at comapping.com.

Dimitris:
Thanks for the tip Omar. I saw comapping while writing the post and to be honest I was initially a bit put off by the 'in a Windows window' instead of the 'in a browser window' approach. I guess this is more of a design rather than use issue however. The 'unembedability' also seemed a limitation. I did like how the 'tree branches' expand/hide though - keep up the good work:)

You could try freemind (freemind.sourceforge.net) which works really good on linux and you can embed the mindmaps when you are running drupal or Joomla (no wordpress, sorry, but someone could pick that one up and write the appropriate code!).Also , on posix systems for more technical and structured "maps" you can try graphiz http://www.graphviz.org/ (yes I know it is actually for Graphs but in some sense an a mind map is a Graph structurally speaking!) It also produces files that can be embeded but I think that it is totally unuserfriendly since you have to be a little bit more familiar with computers than the average Joe to run it.

Thanks, mave about the heads ups. Haven't heard of any of these. Freemind works in Windows as well! And graphviz looks quite feature-rich too.

A typical state approach to novelties in Greece. A)Put someone to do sth about sth because we have to. B)The someone, if he shows the proper zeal, will learn from trial and fail. C)If the zealot is merely adequate the state is satisfied, because it is not necessary to spend more money for a specialist. The all thing is covered up by the inexpensive "solution".

Yes, strictly educational purposes aside, a question search engine is appropriate for more long-term goals, not just to look up a piece of info. If someone wanted to write up an in-depth analysis, a report or some kind of detailed exploration of an issue, they would benefit from such a tool - which I admit is perhaps somewhat too early to consider.
