A Great Alternative to RebelMouse: Curate Your Social Media Hub with Pressly

Pressly is a new web app which allows you to create a social hub, similar to what you can do with RebelMouse or Tint, where you can aggregate and curate your favorite content from your social media channels, web site as well as from your fans content.

The app can aggregate and curate content coming from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo and from any RSS feed.

You can easily search for specifick keywords, hashtags and users across any of your “connected” feeds and save any specific search for future use. You can also preview the results of any search and curate the items that you want to curate and publish in your hub in real-time or automatically.

Similarly to its growing number of competitors Pressly automatically generates a social hub that can be easily viewed across web, tablets and smartphones and that it's very easy to navigate.

Differently than RebelMouse, the content aggregated is not just excerpted or simply pointed to, but it is actually imported, stripped of anything outside the original text and images and presented in a new clean and highly readable format.

US Dirty Modus Operandi in Middle East: “Regime Change” Everywhere It Can

The 9/11 incident has polarized global politics into two distinct eras: pre-9/11 period and post-9/11 period with the latter wreaking havoc on the entire world, particularly on the Muslim world.

The pre-9/11 era witnessed terrorism, carnage, and mass murder across the globe on the part of the US government. Their atrocities ranged from the Philippines to Vietnam and Japan and any mentionable places on the planet.

However, the post-9/11 discourse changed drastically. The US emerged as the victim and the entire Muslim world was shown to be the guilty party.

In other words, the post-9/11 era provided the US government with a pretext to wage a war on terror or to put it more precisely, to wage a crusade against the Muslim world and to accelerate and vindicate their efforts in destabilizing regional strategic governments, thereby drawing nigh to their monstrous objectives.

In point of fact, the Muslims are bearing the brunt of a tragedy carefully choreographed by Washington with the express intention of spearheading a sinister agenda in the Middle East which is evidently ‘regime change’ on a massive scale.

Substance Field Analysis within Theory of Inventive Problem Solving

TRIZ4U: add another tool to your toolbox.

‘Over the years I participated in hundreds of workshops and seminars on improvement and innovation. Most of them offered magic outcomes quickly and sustainably. And, Iouri, the real outcome of the majority of these events, for me at least, was a waste of time. Only very few were worth it… Why TRIZ? Is it a new panacea?’ – responded a friend of mine to proposal to come to my TRIZ seminar in Sydney and to discover the Russian ‘silver bullet’.

Abacuses, adding machines and calculators all fulfil a similar function – help us with mathematic operations. Each of these apparatus represents a product that successfully fulfilled the function of its era but eventually was replaced by a superior technology. But why were these products successful? With research suggesting that up to 80 percent of products fail to deliver their intended benefit, it is a question that needs to be answered. One way to ensure a product's success would be to predict a successful product and develop it sooner than your competitors. Sounds unrealistic? It is possible.

One thing is for sure – products do not evolve randomly. There are patterns and tendencies of product evolution that have been identified through the analyses of thousands of patents that commenced in Russia over 50 years ago. The tools of TRIZ are based on these analyses.

TRIZ is the Russian acronym for Cyrillic words which mean Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. TRIZ is a well-established system of tools for innovative problem solving and idea generation. Genrich Altshuller, the ‘father of TRIZ’ started development of the tools in late 1940-es. Some of these tools can be explained as follows:

Berto Jongman: OuterNet – Free Online Access from Outer Space – Starting with NYC?

Advanced Cyber/IO, Autonomous Internet, Liberation Technology

Forget the Internet – soon there will be the OUTERNET: Company plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space

An ambitious project known as Outernet is aiming to launch hundreds of miniature satellites into low Earth orbit by June 2015 Each satellite will broadcast the Internet to phones and computers giving billions of people across the globe free online access Citizens of countries like China and North Korea that have censored online activity could be given free and unrestricted cyberspace ‘There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'

Daily Mail Reporter, February 2014

You might think you have to pay through the nose at the moment to access the Internet.

But one ambitious organisation called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) is planning to turn the age of online computing on its head by giving free web access to every person on Earth.

Known as Outernet, MDIF plans to launch hundreds of satellites into orbit by 2015.

And they say the project could provide unrestricted Internet access to countries where their web access is censored, including China and North Korea.

Using something known as datacasting technology, which involves sending data over wide radio waves, the New York-based company says they'll be able to broadcast the Internet around the world.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Kurt Opsahl explains the known facts about how the programs operate and the laws and regulations the U.S. government asserts allows the NSA to spy on you.

Discover the Open Source Alternative to the Autonomy Crawler

February 7, 2014

Whether Autonomy’s product success is true or false, as proprietary software it comes with a large price tag. The average small business or user cannot afford to purchase HP Autonomy’s IDOL Crawler. Open source is the best alternative, but for the longest time you could not get software comparable to IDOL Crawler. Norconex says that has changed in the article, “An Open Source Crawler For Autonomy IDOL.” Norconex released an HP Autonomy IDOL Committer for its open source Web crawler Norconex HTTP Collector.

The HTTP Collector is available for Github. The developer encourages people to download it and contribute to the project. Its features are mostly the same as those from HP Autonomy HTTP Connector.

The article states:
