Meezoog - An Affluent and Secure Social Network
Posted by ilovegajeebo in Daily Featured Websites on January 29th, 2009
Meezoog.com is a latest entrant to social networking. It attempts to determine how strong the connections are between users by analyzing their relationships on other sites across the web.
Meezoog - Unique Dating Social Network which Understands Your Relationships
Why should I go for Meezoog when I already use another popular Social Network?
Meezoog helps in filtering fake identities. The information added by fellow members is immediately visible to their friends who can mark whether the information is credible or not.
As an additional trust generating tool, they share your ‘Human Path’ to every member. This allows you to know through whom he or she is connected. This may seem quite a bit similar to Orkut and Facebook Suggest.
Then there is a ‘Social Proximity Gauge’, Meezoog’s innovative algorithm engine which calculates thousands of details, giving you a tool you can trust in measuring how close you are to people you find interesting.
Besides its social network, Meezoog also plans to offer Facebook and OpenSocial applications that allow users to estimate the nature of their connections with their friends, even if they aren’t on Meezoog’s network.
This cross-network analysis is probably the company’s best shot at success . This platform is empowered by the trust mechanism to allow the social validation of users’ representation on those sites.
It is an invite only social club with a monthly fee to help it remain elite.
Insight On Company
Meezoog was founded in 2007 with a grant from the Israeli Chief Scientist Office. Meezoog raised over $300K from private investors, including Dr. Yossi Vardi (Mirabilis – ICQ).
Among the Company founders are Tuvia Rosenthal, former CEO of the Entrepreneurship Program of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (TFL); and Hannan Shulman formerly from the CTO office of SAP.

Posted by ilovegajeebo in Daily Featured Websites on January 6th, 2009
my6sense is a mobile application that ranks content from all your information streams and allows to interact in one click.
They are developing an artificial intelligence system which they call “Digital Intuition”. It separates the signal from the noise and helps users shift their attention to the content they care about most.

Digital Intuition is designed to meet the demands of a new generation of mobile consumers by automatically ranking and serving consumers with information and interactions that match their preferences.
There is nothing you need to do other than simply use the service like you would any other reader/ aggregator. No preferences need to be set. No surveys to fill out. The service ’senses’ your interactions with every message; whether you click on it, ignore it or share.
It Aggregates all of your information streams into one place, so that you don’t need to start browsing the Web while you’re hailing a cab. With my6sense you can access feeds and respond to online posts, emails and even your social networks from one single location and attaches a set of relevant micro-interactions and services to each message so that you can respond to, discover and share information in just one click.
My6sense is also a very capable RSS reader in its own right, with the built-in ability to share items on Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, and LinkedIn, as well as by email. One very nice feature of the app is that it also allows you to see comments on posts from supported blogging platforms.
Currently, my6sense is only available as a web app, but the company expects to have a native iPhone application in the App Store by the time the service launches its public beta early next year.
