Up & Comming Products

I have ordered these up and comings based on my preference of which has the greatest potential.

FushionIO

Performance based storage systems which allows greater performance than a typical hard drive. This product is a card that goes in the computer with the 600 plus gig of storage on the card rather than on disk drives.

This product seems to be in a different class than other products being viewed but at the same time it have very high potential because of the storage capacity it has with in such a small space. You have storage on a card rather than many hard drives.

DimDim

DimDim is a free cross-platform web conferencing software that does not require client side installation.

Not being able to actually participate in a dimdim meeting it makes it a little more difficult to determine how well the site works. But from seeing the demo launch video, the site looks very promising. The one concern I have about everything being web-based and not having the client side software running is the potential added buffer/refresh time, just watching the video showed some lag time between speech and visual interfacing that may be problematic.

gClick

gClick is a data mapping system that can take information from any web article and develop an extensive list of significant information along with more developed expansive information based on what was being read in the original article.

The potential of this software appear to have the ability to revolutionalize the concept of search. I can see the potential of reading an article, clicking a button and then in a matter of moments having a plethora of data at your finger tips that relates to the subject you were looking at.

ZoneAlarm ForceField

Malware protection through the use of a “double/copy” of yourself.

Not sure exactly how this software works but it does seem to have value. I’m not sure how the user interface would work or what kind of customization or even server speed effects would occur by using this software.

CoComment

“CoComment is designed to help users and sites get more out of the comment threads they follow by providing a centralized method for tracking and linking multiple comment threads.”

In working through CoComment I found that it was not acting very well for me. After I went to the test site and posted I went to the personal page and didn’t see anything. While going through the site, I noticed that it logs me off of the server at odd times and I in a 5-10 minute period I have had to log on 2-3 times. Before commenting there should have been a decription that explained the CoComment bar that occurs under the comment box because it has to be set to track for things to be seen on the site. When integrating CoComment on another site, it requires posting of code to every page that wants to be tracked and then requires the user to know exact information on URL etc that will be automatically generated when the page is created.

In principle CoComment could be valuable for people who have conversations on multiple sites but at the same time it is not very user friendly when actually trying to make posts when you may not know what the exact page will be until after it’s created. I wasn’t hooked with the site like I think I should have been, BUT I am not a heavy blogger so that could be part of it.
