Spy Media was created because there are no other photo site giving their users full control over their images. If people want to share their images, they should be able to; if people want to sell their images, they should not only be to sell them, but sell them for whatever price they want to; and if people want to buy an image, they should be able to buy an image without having to deal with some 3rd party agent.
Spy Media has developed a better way to find and buy photos of the people, places and events you care about: Spy Bounties.
A Spy Bounty is a request you create and post on SpyMedia.com describing the photo you want and how much you are willing to pay to get it (like an online classified ad). Your Spy Bounty is distributed to our active community of member photographers. Members motivated by your offer and able to participate will post one or more images for you to review. If you find what you want, pay the photographer the bounty you’ve offered and you’ll receive the highest quality image available in our library. Don’t forget to search our Photo Library! Like other stock photo libraries, Spy Media may already what you’re looking for. Just search and browse its large collection of images.

KartOO is a metasearch engine with visual display interfaces. When you click on OK, KartOO launches the query to a set of search engines, gathers the results, compiles them and represents them in a series of interactive maps through a proprietary algorithm.
You can ask questions to KartOO. As soon as KartOO discovers a question mark (do not forget it!), KartOO interrogates the most high-performance engines in natural language and displays the map of results. KartOO imagines for you new interfaces to navigate through information. Using pictorial displays, our tools allow you to understand large volumes of information and to emphasize more significant elements than simple and long list of paragraphs. With KartOO technology, you save in your search time!

Like the search engines for the common users, Developers are now getting the priviledge of having their own Search Engine. Krugle solves the time consuming of finding and evaluating the available code to be used by the developers. It is designed to deliver easy access to source code and other highly relevant technical information in a single, convenient, clean, easy-to-use interface, according to the company.
Krugle helps programmers quickly find source code and the information they need to evaluate, deploy and fix code. It works by crawling, parsing, and indexing code found in open-source repositories and code that exists in archives, mailing lists, blogs and Web pages.
Krugle also improves communication between programmers by allowing them to add their commentary in a layer that floats above the source code. In addition, Krugle allows programmers to permanently tag code, and sets of search results, and easily share them with their colleagues.
Developers can use Krugle to:
- Find code
- Browse code repositories
- Find Web Docs (code related documentation, release notes, knowledge base information, licensing documentation, etc.)
- Save results
- Comment and share search results

Founded in 2004, Inform is in the business of organizing, or structuring, massive amounts of unstructured data. Inform’s vision is to expand the traditional realm of Internet news aggregators and search engines to revolutionize the user experience. Inform has assembled a worldwide team of mathematicians, computer and library scientists, linguists and taxonomists to solve the “news problem†of too many sources and insufficient structure.
To that end, the company has developed a Web-based platform that processes and translates all Internet content into its common semantic elements through the use of advanced algorithms. Through this process, Inform systematically tags and scores each component of the article, identifying every topic, industry, organization, person, place and product mentioned throughout the entire article. In technical terms, this process is called “meta-tagging,” and the promise of consistent, automatic meta-tagging has been heralded by publishers as the Holy Grail of online information retrieval.
To bring its technology to market, Inform has developed Publisher Services, a suite of solutions designed to allow traditional media companies to serve their online visitors in new and innovative ways. Publisher Services applies Inform’s purpose-built solutions to a publisher’s existing content and editorial assets to deliver an enriched, personalized online experience, dramatically increasing page views, visitor loyalty and revenues.

MappedUp is an application that tracks a large number of RSS news sources and displays their latest items on a world map, geographically and in real-time.
Under the hood, MappedUp continously tracks a large amount of RSS feeds. These feeds are represented by a red-to-yellow dot on the worldmap: red means the feed has just been updated; yellow means the feed hasn’t been updated in a while. By rolling your mouse over the dots, you can read the titles of all new articles. By clicking a title, you jump to the author’s website to read the entire article.
An account is your key to personalization of MappedUp. After you’ve (freely) signed up, you can choose the tags and specific feeds you want to have displayed on your worldmap. With an account, you can also take part in the discussions of this site’s news weblog and support forum. Of course you can also add your own RSS feeds to MappedUp
In the feed directory, you can add these new feeds to MappedUp. As with all Web2.0 applications, sharing of information is a key element of MappedUp. The feeds you add to the directory will be available to all other users. Through the tags you assign to them, users with similar interests will automatically receive news published by your feeds as well! Subsequently, other users’ additions will, through the tags, also automatically pop up on your worldmap.
So in essence, MappedUp doesn’t differ much from any other RSS readers, but it does add a bit of coolness and fun to your daily feed-reading routine. And through the feed-sharing system, you’ll receive far more interesting articles than you’d ever receive in a private feed reader. So go ahead, Download MappedUp, and put in on your computer or your website!
