ParaVisuo: A truly organic web event that harnesses people’s choices to procedurally generate content and provide social driven visual answers to questions in a content rich fashion.

A search portal that cross references the most popular search terms with Youtube videos, biases them by their user ratings and displays brief, continuous, clips on the portal home page that can be dynamically rated by its users. The dynamic ratings will then be used to extract the most popular parts of each video and store them by category, this database of video extracts/categories will be used to combine clips/extracts to create a single video tied to your original search terms that reflects the internet’s socio-visual answer to your original question. This isn’t Web 2.0, it’s Web 2.02

OzzMorphus - that same fun-crazed company who brought you "What Number am I thinking of? 3.0" and "DRMauh" are electrified to announce the next social networking phenomenon to hit the web by storm ... coming in 2008!

It's Google Maps meets train spotting meets hunting!

- Byron Galbraith

Squirrelian at long last will solve the problem of invasive grey squirrels out-competing native red squirrels. Thank you, Byron.

The Register 2.0: A collaborative enviroment provoking intelligent thought through the powerful medium of IT news (and a small comments section). With this new social utility we aim inspire present and future citizens of our social environment, or as we like to call it, the sociovironment.

- Ben O'Connor

Points for creepiness, but lose points for peddling lies: IT news has no power.

As a memetype substrate congeals in hypernet, geopolitical force now initiates via real-time emotional interaction through video and the bandwidth of the bandwagon. The paradigm creation of intertwining RSS newsfeeds and social network loopback into multi-channel AI interpretation breaches the chasm between activism and opinion polling. Our product is Zig Ziglar meets Walter Winchell meets Zogby -- and everybody's dancing to our music. You say you want a revolution...Mesantonata!

You're straying dangerously close to patented amanfromMars territory there, Phat (if, indeed, that is your real name...).
