Gary Price continues his run of finding us cool stuff in the search world. Here he links to NASA’s new WorldWind version that lets you zoom around the moon in 3D. Yes, this is a .NET app. Freaking cool.

Trulia, real estate listing winning raves in Silicon Valley

October 25, 2005 By

The ScanR folks are raving about Trulia, which is a new Real Estate Search page. Very interesting. A couple of Stanford kids started it.

Speaking of which, in 10 minutes I’ll be in the office where Google, Logitech, and Paypal started their business lives. I’m meeting the current company: Picaboo (they do a peer-to-peer photo sharing application). Are they the next Google, or even Flickr? Well, we’re heading across University Ave. to get a look.

Zvents: interesting events and calendar site

October 25, 2005 By

I’m sitting here with the Zvents team. In a house on Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley. I love the smell of startups!

They have an interesting site that lets you find things to do. Right now it only works for the San Francisco Bay Area. They also have an interesting Web-based calendar where you can even keep track of your family and friends.

There’s so much to say. Run a lot by tags. Good search engine. Found things like air shows, wine crushing. More later, I’m late for my next meeting. Can they solve that? Heheh.
