I'm building Konfect (http://www.konfect.com) because it annoys me that at every social network I sign up I need to refind those I usually connect with. With Konfect I can manage my connections accross networks.

#523Neurio: A new home intelligence project that makes an ordinary home smart.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/energyaware/neurio-home-...
It's cool because we launched it on Kickstarter 11 days ago, and have raised $101,000 so far... people really are excited about it!
Basically, it's a real-time energy sensor that can show you how much electricity each appliance in the home is using from a central sensor. Also, it has an open platform & can integrate with things like IFTTT, Spark Core, and Smart Things.
Here's an example project we put together. =)

#524I've been at a Hackathon for the last 15 hours and we've cobbled together a text message service that you can ask questions to and it responds in the style of Yoda.
It's imaginatively called "Ask Yoda" Pretty useless, but pretty cool and hella fun to make :)

#525I made private diaries for close friends (7 max). It is like post-it note on the kitchen fridge. Not indexed by google. Honesty of content there is amazing. Things that people would never trust to fb/twitter. Also, people that never write anything on facebook, do post there. It is simple stuff, like " I am doing that, I am feeling this, I am going to somewhere." If suddenly, all of fb contacts would post such small t…
That's an interesting concept. Am I missing something, though, or is there no way to create an account on that website?
yes, we are invite only and tied to LV mobile numbers. Idea was that sms access would make it simpler for elder people, but turns out that its not. some people love it, esp in roaming, but most active use is still through mobile browsers. I'm rewriting this for simpler email based signups, to open international registrations, you can leave your email at http://this.is.osom.me to get invite soon

#526SilverAir - An athletic shirt that doesn't smell and designed to be worn at the gym and for everyday wear. demo@ http://www.yathletics.com It's cool because: It's made using pure silver which kills the odor-causing bacteria in your sweat, so you can -wear this shirt for your entire day and feel fresh, -reuse the shirt more often (i do). The fabric is completely new and something I made with my manufacturers from scra…
Non v-neck option?
Cool concept. The video mentions musty smell persists after washing clothes. Wrong detergent choice or washing habits? I've never had that problem even after running 24KM in gym clothes.

#528Seat 14A (www.seat14a.com) a). Most men hate shopping. b). Sizes are never consistent and a number cannot define a unique bodily shape. Our solution: We simply send an email with a few complete looks every few weeks, if you like a look - order it and we make it made to measure for you. We ship globally for free. Each look is about $150-$175 (so won't break your bank account). Each look is based off of heavy research…
> Each look is based off of heavy research around looks, textures and trends that are currently in.
Based off what, Hipster™ magazine?

#529I'm working on http://algorithmic.ly -- algorithms as a service. It's cool because I get to help startups who don't always have the resources to hire someone like me who specialized in implementing and scaling certain kinds of algorithmic features. These startups need help with everything from geospatial search up to anomaly detection and predictive analytics. It's bootstrapped, so while I'd love it if it was a publi…
I'd really like to understand this more too. More info!

#530Localize.js ( https://localizejs.com ) automatically localizes websites. No backend integration required. It's a client side Javascript library that handles phrase detection and the injection of translations. Machine and human translations can be ordered via our web interface. Why is this cool? It generally takes an engineer at least 1-2 weeks to fully localize a website (go through all template files, replace all te…
