- The coolest thing that seems to be brewing on the web (2.0) is something known as EdgeIO -> it’s not operating yet but already the blogosphere is all abuzz about it..

Should be cool.. wonder if it’s going to tread on some EBay toes, though..
- Flexible Batman-esque bodyarmour anyone?? Interested parties may like to check out this d3o stuff. It’s basically a new composite material that’s normally flexible, but harden’s instantly when subjected to sudden impacts.

For a start: mountain bikers, climbers, even “dog-bite” proof pants, perhaps..?

Finally (though slightly less exciting), saw this interesting tool – allows one to upload (text) files, enter URLs or even raw text, and have them automatically analysed for things like word frequency, paragraph structure, etc. Why is this useful? Well, in it’s present form it’s not exactly a paradigm-shifter, but if developed further this could be a great tool for document clustering, visualisation and profiling.
This was one of a number of tools listed here. Have a glance!
