It seems to be common sense to assume that the more tax credits you give for research and experimentation in various industries, the more you would encourage development in that area; and, of course, the reverse would be true. Therefore, the current uncertainty associated with the present Research and Experimentation (R&D) tax credit is obviously an obstacle to innovation and growth of the economy.
Million Short is an experimental web search engine (really, more of a discovery engine) that allows you to REMOVE the top million (or top 100k, 10k, 1k, 100) sites from the results set. We thought it might be somewhat interesting to see what we'd find if we just removed an entire slice of the web
Google has recently launched their latest experimental playground for online marketers to get updated on their release of new ad initiatives for search advertising. These includes new ad extensions and ad models which can possibly help you reach out to more targeted audiences that potentially give better success to meet advertising goals.
Today i'll told you the top 10 dangerous viruses that are most dangerous for us.Viruses can be distinct as a small transferable agent that can repeat only inside the living cells of any human being. They are so tiny that they can be experimental only through the lens of a microscope.
An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups. Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination.
Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page.
Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup.
Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries.
Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.
Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the
database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big.
Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check
Wikipedia's definition,
but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based
application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always,
this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here.
(An API? Also at Wikipedia.)
Some recent press may also help explain:
BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate",
The Economist's "Mashing the Web".
Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization.
What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly.
I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist.
Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others.
UI Issues:
Cross-browser support is good but not complete.
Sometimes it can b
