Wavii

"Wavii set out to solve this by making a similar feed that covers every topic in the news you might want to follow… or as we sometimes describe it, to make Facebook out of Google," it adds.

It can process up to 1,000 articles per minute and then summarize the most important bits to the user via a personalized news feed.

"We do it by teaching computers to read everything that is reported or shared on the internet, and automatically produce interesting social content about it," it says on its site.  According to some analysts, the technology could be used by Google to improve search results for news stories.

Google has finally closed the deal on Wavii---news summarization start-up, Seattle-based Wavii uses natural language processing technology to distil online news into topics the users most care about, whether it be politics, celebrity gossip or gadgets.a natural language processing startup, Wavvii was founded by former Microsoft employee Adrian Aoun in 2009 and has raised around $2 million in seed funding so far.for a price that is more than $30 million, we’re hearing from a legitimate source. Wavii was created by engineers who previously worked for Amazon and Microsoft and offers services via the web or as a smartphone app.The buy comes shortly after Yahoo’s $30 million acquisition of aggregator Summly (A south London schoolboy has become one of the world’s youngest tech millionaires after selling his mobile app to Yahoo!.) , which, like Wavii, attempted to summarize stories.

At the time of acquisition, Wavii had raised $2 million in seed funding from Max Levchin, CrunchFund, SV Angel, Felicis Ventures, Mitch Kapor, Fritz Lanman, Max Ventilla, Shawn Fanning, Rick Marini and Dave Morin.

The Seattle-based company specialises in “natural language processing”, which programmes computers to understand how humans communicate. Wavii's investors included PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, former Facebook executive Dave Morin, and Fritz Lanman, a former dealmaker at Microsoft Corp.

Wavii was created by engineers who previously worked for Amazon and Microsoft and offers services via the web or as a smartphone app. It is closely integrated with Facebook. That may change since the social network competes against Google+.

The digital age has changed what it means to 'search'



Last month the company hired Ray Kurzweil, an artificial intelligence expert, as its director of research. In the future, he says, Google will know so much about you that it will be able to deliver information before you even ask for it. You won’t need to search at all.

Google And Privacy: Is It Time To Give Up?

Google on March 1 plans to consolidate its 70 or so privacy policies across its products - from Gmail to YouTube to Blogger - down to one.

Brooklyn Museum Pins Its Digitized Photos to Historypin's Map

Brooklyn Museum Pins Its Digitized Photos to Historypin's Map - NYTimes.com


Using New Tools, Mapping Old Brooklyn

When the digital team at the Brooklyn Museum first looked at the New York images included on Historypin, a social sharing site for old images, something seemed to be missing.
“They had nothing in Brooklyn,” said Shelley Bernstein, the museum’s chief of technology.
The museum, meanwhile, has a lot in Brooklyn. Its collections include more than 3,500 images from the late 19th century, showing a city and borough long since passed; one whose citizens shared their avenues and parks withgeesesheep and a buffalo named Mike.

What is Google Chrome OS?

Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap, we believe choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.

Tech Giants Sony, Apple, Google Face Outrage Over Privacy Breaches in Devices

Technology giants Sony, Apple and Google have all faced major scandals in recent weeks that raise a host of questions about privacy in the digital age. Apple’s popular iPhone was designed to secretly track a user’s location without the user’s knowledge, and so was Google’s Android system for smartphones. Sony’s PlayStation Network has exposed the personal records of more than 100 million of its customers. 

Mark Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, who notes that in addition to privacy breaches, these private companies are essentially doing a better job with popular surveillance than the government, creating a detailed personal record that then can be released by a subpoena.
