“Multiverse's unique technology platform will change the economics of virtual world
development by empowering independent game developers to create high-quality, Massively Multiplayer
Online Games (MMOGs)”
Why it might be a killer
Online worlds have always drawn people to them. This could bring even more people to the
picture.
Some questions
Are online world going to keep growing like they’ve been doing? Won’t people realize
that normal life is a lot better?
What it does
Since Everquest came into the scene, massive online worlds took off and they haven’t stopped
growing since. While it might not seem like it, creating these massively multiplayer online
experiences can be expensive for developers. To ensure the continued growth of massively
multiplayer online games (MMOGs), the folks at Multiverse.net have come up with a very interesting
conceptual tool. These ex Netscape programmers, have come up with a great idea. With the Multiverse
technology, programmers will be able to easily create online environments for people to enjoy.

“Camino is an open source web browser developed with a focus on providing the best possible
experience for Mac OS X users.”
Why it might be a killer
Mac users will want to take a look at this. It could bring a new edge to your web surfing
experience.
Some questions
Is it worth switching over? With Chrome hitting the Mac soon, will anyone even bother with
this?
What it does
I can understand Mac users being mad about Google not releasing a version of Chrome to run on OS X.
If you’re looking for a browser to try out on your Mac, that will look and function
correctly, then you should give Caminobrowser.org a visit. On the site, you’ll be able to
download the latest version of the Camino browser. This stylish browser has many of the advantages
of the Firefox one, and a great look to boot. It’ll look right at home on your Mac’s
desktop, as it takes most of its style elements from Mac applications. I’m not writing this
from a Mac, but from what I can see, it’s a beautiful piece of software. It doesn’t
have any new things that will change the way you look at the internet, but it is a change from the
browsers you are used to using. If you’re worried about loosing your Firefox information when
switching over to Camino, don’t worry: the browser lets you import information easily from
your old browser.

This is something that was long overdue. It should be a great addition to Twitter users who like
Digg.
Some questions
Do that many people use Digg? Can you choose what to share and what to keep private?

Twitter account information, and an email address and you’re ready to go. I could go on and
on about the advantages of this service, but in all honesty, you have to try it out for yourself.

“Where you go for a fresh perspective on companies.”
Why it might be a killer
Businesspeople will love this site. Their profiling tools should be used by everyone who wants to
know more about businesses.
What it does
Sometimes, you need to know more about your business partners or competitors. While paid services

you’ll be able to learn about the many companies Cortera has in its database, all for an
accessible price and no commitment. What this means is, that you’ll pay, get your
information, and you’re done. There’s no need for any more interaction between you and
the company. Knowing about companies you work with and competitors can give you the edge in making
a business deal or transaction. Anyone who is serious about doing business should try this out, at
least to see how accurate the information can be. Some profiles are free, so even if you
can’t pay for information, you’ll get some of it anyways.
Some questions
Will people pay for this? How accurate is the information?

Dostoc to move in. It could precede a future where we’ll be able to edit documents through
this service, much like with Google Docs. Everyone should have an online back up of their
documents, and this site lets you do that wonderfully. MyDocs is the newest addition to a family of
features that just keep on getting better. In short, if you still don’t back up documents
online, you should give this a try.

“SamePoint.com, a Web 2.0 start-up that offers a different type of search engine - one that
monitors conversations taking place across the major social media points of interaction.”
Why it might be a killer
This is very interesting. It should be interesting to see it grow and track more conversations.
Some questions
Is this legal? Isn’t it prying a little too much into what people are saying?
What it does
Have you ever wondered if anyone is talking about you on a blog or site? If you have, then you
should check out Samepoint.com. Through this site, you’ll be able to search for topics and
see what people are saying about them. This will let you know if anyone has been talking about you
behind your back. On a more serious note, this could be used by corporations and smaller companies
to see if their product is being talked about, measure how popular it is, and listen to the
concerns of some of the consumers. It’s not every day that you get to snoop into other
peoples’ conversations (I guess with this site, it will become an every day thing). The site
tracks many points of conversations, so the search is surprisingly comprehensive. If you want to
see how effective it is, try searching for Chrome. It will give you a great cross section of what
people are saying about Google’s new browser.

What it does
News can be boring. Doodlebuzz.com has the goal of making you love your news more. Just search the
site for a topic you want to know about, and start doodling around with your mouse. The news will
be spread out according to your design, making reading the headlines a truly entertaining ordeal.
You’ll be able to organize your news, allowing you to read them whoever you feel like. I
could try to spin this in a way that makes the site actually useful, but I think we can all agree
on the fact that this is more for fun than for anything else. Try searching for more popular
topics, as you’ll get more results and your news “maps” will be a lot more
interesting. You can rotate your drawings, zoom in, zoom out, and basically play around with it
however you feel like. It’s a great way for you to get the latest news, while doodling like
you did when you were 5 years old.
In their own words
“DoodleBuzz is a new way to read the news through an experimental interface that allows you
to create typographic maps of current news stories.”

interactive. Over all, this is an interesting addition to the search engine family.
In their own words

Why it might be a killer

existing services. With this one, you’ll be able to receive alerts and notifications each

feature has to be the fact that it’s free. Just register your business and start scheduling
