BooRah Makes You the Restaurant Guru
I've spent the past few days exploring food website BooRah, which I can only describe as a localized restaurant information mecca. BooRah's Brian Warren and Nagaraju Bandaru graciously offered me a guided tour, which I hungrily accepted. The conversation was both informative and professional, and I was left with the impression that BooRah is not only a capable product, but that it is in capable hands as well.

Diigo V3 a Win with Non-Intrusive Social Networking
I have been an avid Diigo user for some time now. I use it to manage my bookmarks, to take notes, and organize and share my research. It's even become my primary blogging tool. Each time I think that I've finally mastered Diigo, they add some new feature or enhancement. Now, with the newly released Diigo V3, Diigo comes bounding into the social networking world. While it seems like everyone is getting into social networking these days, most are building communities around who knows who. Diigo, leveraging its success as a knowledge sharing tool, is building communities around who knows what. (Link: Diigo V3 a Win with Non-Intrusive Social Networking)

Know Where Your Money Goes With SpendView
Recently, I was given an awesome guided tour of personal finance application, SpendView. Nikhil Roy and Nikunj Somaiya have taken SpendView from concept to fully functioning closed beta in the space of about nine months. I was honestly pretty nonplussed about looking at yet another personal finance app. (This might have something to do with the shape my finances are in, maybe...) By the time we were done, I was totally excited by what I saw! (Link: Know Where Your Money Goes With SpendView)

The Mobile Web Goes Widescreen with Opera’s Beta Browser
I've been using Opera's Java-based mobile browser for what seems like eternity. I don't even remember how it ended up on my phone to begin with. What I do remember is that it has outperformed every other mobile browser I've tested on my handset. You can bet that I went straight to the Opera Mini website as soon as I found out that a new version, version 3.1, was ready for download. When I got there, I almost missed the link to the new beta version of Opera Mini 4. (Link: The Mobile Web Goes Widescreen with Opera’s Beta Browser)

Walking through the Web: Web2Walk
Web 2.0 provides us with all sorts of ways to check our favorite sites. However, for the most part, we've been constrained primarily to using browsers, email and RSS Feeds. With the dawn of this second internet, there seem to be a plethora of new ways to surf the internet. Walk2Web takes old paths and give them an upgrade. (Link: Walking through the Web: Web2Walk)

Buzzword, The First Real Word Processor for the Web
I'm not writing in my usual text editor today. Today, I'm writing in the web's first real word processor. At least, that is what the team at Virtual Ubiquity has to say about their partially unveiled masterpiece. They've also chosen what is quite possibly the perfect name for a supposedly ground breaking and much-hyped word processing application: Buzzword.

Reactee Puts Your Message on the Streets
I get fairly excited when I come across a company working within the web 2.0 space that I'm not quite certain how to categorize. This excitement (some might call it confusion, but I prefer to be optimistic) is why I decided to take a closer look at Reactee. In a list somewhere, you might find them filed under fashion, communication, or perhaps marketing. Reactee deftly combines elements of all three. Truth is, I think that this is a case where the sum is greater than the whole of the parts. (Link: Reactee Puts Your Message on the Streets)

With so many ways to find what you need on the Internet, it's good to see that companies and developers have realized that there needs to be more then just one way to search. Enter Sputtr. Sputtr aspires to be a metasearch designed to search multiple engines from one single website. (Link: eHub Reviews Sputtr)

Do More With Your Music at Lala
I came across Lala while looking for a (free) way to listen to my music collection when the computer that I was at wasn't mine. While I'd toured similar services like Oboe Locker by Mp3tunes.com, in the end I grew tired of dealing the limitations of these other services. Limits to the size of your online library, or limits to the size of the mp3 file itself, for example, are common among free accounts. (Link: Do More With Your Music at Lala)

eHub Reviews last.fm
Recorded music is an important part to many of our lives. However, the way that we consume recorded music varies greatly. Additionally, the separation is not clean. How we consume music depends on our mood, location, and other things we may be doing at the time. There are five categories that can help define how we interact with recorded music. These categories are collection, personalization, ambiance, discovery, and sharing. Note, sharing can be as simple as a playlist of songs. Now the pure collector may not see the need for discovery. They've built their 70GB music collection and may believe they have everything they need. But how did they build their collection in the first place? Exactly. Enter last.fm.

Web 2.0 Meets The Past at Footnote
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I sat down to test drive Utah-based website Footnote. Imagine a mashup of Flickr + Diigo + a little of Genealogy.com for historical documents and you get some idea of the function. This simplified description doesn't do justice to what you can actually do with Footnote, nor does it explain how I completely lost track of more than three hours of my day while exploring the site!
