Google Wave alternatives
Remember Google Wave? Yes, quite a handy collaboration tool that mostly failed due to a silly invitations-only policy stretched over way too longer than it should. Well, apparently, even after Google gave up the idea and most of its code as Open Source, there are still people who work on making it succeed.
Save Google Wave is the website that keeps track of several alternatives and provides a simple functional overview of each.
Happy birthday, Evernote!
Evernote is one of the most useful web services out there. I am using it daily for two and half years, and I’m also a subscriber to their Premium service, which makes it possible to have off-line notebooks on mobile. Today, Evernote celebrates its fifth birthday.
Huge thanks and congratulations to the whole team on this huge milestone. I hope you guys will continue doing what you are doing and bring us more handy features. Keep it up and happy birthday!
That sweet sweet moment when the company upgrades …
That sweet sweet moment when the company upgrades its GitHub plan. Hopefully, we’ll start pushing things into Open Source domain soon too.
GitHub’s Data Challenge II winners announced
GitHub, being a massive data store, is constantly looking for new and improved ways of extracting knowledge from its data.
In April we announced the second annual GitHub data challenge.
[…]
After receiving some amazing entries in the previous challenge, we were excited to see what people would discover with another year of data. The results blew us away: we saw many more entrants and novel applications of our data. GitHubbers ranked their favorite entries, and after tallying the votes, we’re happy to announce the top 3 entries for the 2013 GitHub data challenge.
The second place (Popular Convention by Outsider) and third place (open source contributions by location by David Fischer) winners are very nice. But the first place winner is truly amazing (The Open Source Report Card, by Dan Foreman-Mackey). It’s an excellent combination of data crunching with beautiful presentation. Of course, you’ll need some publicly visible repositories and contributions to see anything interesting, but once you do, it’s quite impressive. Have a look at mine, for example.
