We love helping publishers make their content available to large groups of readers, and working on ways to make the world’s information useful and accessible through our search results. At the same time, we’re also aware of the fact that creating high-quality content is not easy and, in many cases, expensive. This is one of the reasons why we initially launched First Click Free for Google News and Google Web Search — to allow publishers to sell access to their content in general while still allowing users to find it through our search results.
IBM Debuts Food Traceability iPhone App
Today at the IBM Information on Demand event, IBM will demo a new app that will bring the Internet of Things to the iPhone. The as yet unreleased iPhone app is called Breadcrumbs and it will give consumers access to information about grocery food items. The app will be able to scan barcodes and deliver a summary of the ingredients in a food item, along with when it was manufactured. That data is usually on the food label, but Breadcrumbs goes a step further - it can provide extra information such as product recall data. If a product has been recalled in the past, this app will tell the consumer all of the relevant details.
As someone who happens to appreciate a number of the products DWR has brought to market, it’s disheartening to read about how low the design & executive teams were willing to go just to make a little more money just to satisfy the board. It is quite possibly one of the most dangerous ways to move forward with a business.
DWR has done a lot of good, and I’m happy to read that there’s at least some conscience to cut the shit and get back to what made it what it is.
My friend, Doug Petkanics, is a true startup hero. In less than two weeks, he released Snapm - a marketplace for amateur photographers to post interesting work and for consumers to discover/hire their services. Take a look around, explore and offer feedback.
v1.0 underway! Kudos Doug.
I enjoy reading ReadWriteWeb.com, it’s a solid site. However, one little detail has always bothered me: its use of the majestic plural or royal we. So, rather than ignore it, I did what any other rational person would do…
I created a greasemonkey script to change “we” to “I” on readwriteweb.com. It’s terribly done, but you can install it for yourself.
I’m becoming quite the greasemonkey nerd. See also: my “I fixed tumblr” script.
