Avvo - review your attorney

Submitted by New Media Rights on Tue, 11/18/2008 - 12:06

Avvo is like Yelp, except instead of reviewing your favorite local restaurants, bars, coffee houses, etc, you review attorneys. It will be interesting to see how these types of professional review websites fare. There does seem to be a lack of information when choosing a lawyer, doctor, dentist, or other professionals.

Pipes

Submitted by New Media Rights on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 21:16

Pipes really does allow you to "aggregate, manipulate, and mashup" the web. This tool is so powerful its hard to even begin scratching the surface. Create aggregated rss feeds for... goods or housing in your area, news from around the web, price alerts from auction sites, and anything else you can think of! If you ever wanted to dabble in programming, but didn't want the code thing to get in the way, here's your chance.

Google Zeitgeist

Googlei offers a number of tools to help examine search trends over different time periods. In addition to Zeitgeist, which looks at an entire year, Google also offers Google Trends and Hot Trends.

Here's more about Zeitgeist from the site:

Pulling together interesting search trends and patterns requires both computing power and human power too. Search statistics are automatically generated based on the billions of searches conducted on Google. With some help from humans, and a pigeon or two when they have time, these statistics and trends make their way from the depths of Google's hard drives to become the Google Zeitgeist findings. We should note that in compiling these Zeitgeist lists, no individual searcher's information is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot of interesting queries people are asking – over time, within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition. We appreciate the contribution everyone who searches on Google makes to these fascinating bits of information.

"Squidoo is a website hosting hundreds of thousands of lenses. Each lens is one person's look at something online. Your take on football or business or the best thai food in town.

Lenses are free.

Lenses pay a royalty to hundreds of great charities.

Lenses get you credibility and traffic... and lenses only take a few minutes to build."
