These dots appear as a stream of high-quality user-generated editorial content directly in-context of all relevant articles across the web, where they are rated and vetted for usefulness by readers — the wisdom of crowds.

Using DotSpots, anyone can add a dot to the mainstream news in real-time, containing perspectives from the blogosphere, or live, eye-witness videos, pictures or accounts from the scene. Every dot contributed is automatically placed in-context of all relevant news articles, where it is rated and vetted for usefulness by readers.

With Kickstarter, project creators can offer products, services or other benefits (”rewards”) to inspire people to support their project: A hot-air balloon ride to the first person to pledge $300, an invitation to the BBQ for anyone who pledges more than $5, exclusive daily video updates for anyone who pledges more than $1. It’s up to each project creator to sculpt their own offers and there’s lots of cool ways to do it. (Want to see a great example? Google “Josh Freese”)

People who pledge also receive access to all project updates (posts, video, pics, etc.). “Project Updates” is our fancy name for the project blog. Some project creators may post 10 updates a day, others may rarely post. Some may make all their posts publicly viewable, others may set all their posts as exclusive to their backers.

Foodista makes it easy to find, share and learn about food and cooking. They are the first website to organize cooking information into four linked categories: recipes, foods, cooking techniques and kitchen tools.

Foodista emphasizes the beauty of cooking with big, gorgeous pictures of food, just like you’d see in a cookbook. They believe in quality over quantity. They developed a system to let everyone edit content to make it better. Rather than have multiple versions of the same recipe.

What makes bookarmy different from other book sites is that here you can make direct contact with authors; see what star rating they have given books, browse their reading lists, ask them questions about their own writing, and recommend titles to them.

Its aim is to make sure you never read a bad book again.

The ideology of Prezi is based our natural knowledge on how to coordinate ourselves in space; traditionally all information we have had to process and store used to be linked to physical space. That is where our minds have developed good skills in orienting ourselves. Despite all this digital information today is mostly presented to us as a moniker of printed matter. Of course printing has served us well to store (and shape) information for the the last six centuries, however, with the wide appearance of computing we saw the same old pattern: old forms got translated to new media without exploring its full potential. Most of the computer systems which present us with information today use the old paradigm of prints and slides: arranging information on a framed 2d static space. We could argue that these (at least their forms) are merely the side effect of Gutenberg’s galaxy.
