Associated Content is a platform that allows anyone to publish content on any topic, and at the same time earn revenue from advertisers. There are currently over 250,000 contributors (users) with over a million stories. The website recently raised $6 million in funding, hoping to make Associated Content a leading online publishing service (a key investor is AOL’s CEO Tim Armstrong).
CheckFacebook is a research tool that tracks users on Facebook. The site represents community information both statistically and graphically, with further analysis focused on the USA. Articles related to Facebook are also added daily, and the developer behind CheckFacebook (Nick Gonzalez) looks to make this a powerful tool for marketers and researchers focusing on Facebook (the fourth most visited site on the web, after Google, Yahoo!, and YouTube).
Google has released a new feature which may completely develop image searching on the web, Similar Images. The technology assembles pictures which are visually related to what the user is searching for, rather than the current method of using the title’s text. If user feedback is integrated, this technology could soon teach computers the ability to see and visualize physical differences.
