It helps all web users stay safe by rating sites according to various criteria: trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy and child-friendliness. Add the add-on to your browser and it will reveal problematic sites as you search, surf, shop and socialise online. It works when you’re using Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia and other popular sites. The WoT community has already rated millions of websites, if you join MyWot you get to add your ratings. Earlier this week I saw several educated sorts caught out by phishing scams and dodgy links on Facebook. Using WoT might have protected them. Today WoT has also announced integration with Facebook, which might add a layer of...

Demanding your attention. Everywhere you look, they’re there. They might be red and flashing, or green and sublime… but they are insidious. They will take your most precious resource and consume it entirely. I’m talking about DISTRACTIONS. It might be your web browser, it might be Facebook. The phone may start ringing and force you to answer. And then there is the king of all distractions… e-mail. Pop… you’ve got mail. Resist if you can… but you know you must see the latest joke, cute puppy picture, or heaven forbid… a free iPod deal!! So there is one answer, if you are ever going to get something done.

It lets you explore the human body in all its glory in a Google Earth-like fashion. Individual anatomic layers (skin, muscles, bones, etc.) can be selected or deselected for viewing, but can also be made semi-transparent on an individual level. Labels can be displayed, and all anatomy is fully searchable. The catch is you will need a WebGL enabled browser to try it. WebGL is a technique that enables 3D graphics within the browser without the use of plugins. Chrome 9 Dev Channel, Chrome Canary Build and Firefox 4 beta have this enabled by default. In Chrome 8 (the current stable version), you can enable it by going to about:flags (type it in the address bar)...

Think Google Earth for human anatomy.Body Browser is described as a 3-dimensional multi-layered anatomical model of the human body that you can rotate, zoom in on, and search. More information about Body Browser is available in Google Labs.Great to see Google developing this new tool that should be useful for educators, physicians, and others in the health care field. I can't wait to show this new tool to my kids.Thanks to Brian Klepper over at Care and Cost for blogging about this new Google health tool.Very cool!

One of the most person-centric ways of defining people-networks are friend-of-a-friend (FOAF) networks. Here is why:First, this is independent of any social networking provider, which might not allow you tracking and entering all the information you need into their system. Second, there are multiple ways how you can create FOAF ontologies, e.g. identi.ca, Quatuoa, and Pierre's XSL transformation from a LinkedIn profile. I used the following starting pointsFOAF examples on foaf-visualizer.orgDescription Of A Career (DOAC) entries from my LinkedIn profile using Pierre's XSLFinally, I placed my FOAF pr...

It is an interesting idea and could be very powerful.

For licenced databases I am working on the url-string to include our digital library proxy access. Luckily I already have a huge list of library resource urls due to the Library Toolbars. Search plugins allows you to do a direct search from your internet browser search box, without having to go to the database or search enigine first. The MyCroft Project has been gathering all kinds of useful stuff at their site, including a search for OpenSearch Plugins. I could not resist in putting that into a handy widget via Widgetbox.

An informative article about this release and Microsoft’s rapid effort to catch-up using IE-8 was recently published by PC World. I strongly suggest that you download Firefox 3 directly from a Mozilla site. As I write, this site is still devoted to the download of Firefox 2.0.0.14, however.The good people on the Firefox 3 project are trying to set a Guinness World Record for downloading software in a single day. My best guess is that they will achieve this, because there is currently no such record in existence.More importantly, I recently tried to download Release Candidate 3 of Firefox from other sites, and while beginning to install, they displayed instructions in a language ...

It appears the attack generated hundreds, if not thousands, of new posts to the community, resulting in basically a denial of service (DOS) attack. A denial of service attack is exactly what it sounds — the attackers do something to the service to make it unusable for the rest of the world. If you’re a member of the Epilepsy Foundation eCommunities, I highly suggest not visiting the community until you see an update either here in this blog post, or in our own NeuroTalk Epilepsy support community (which is safe and secure).

Just over a year ago, Euan asked whether anyone was employing AJAX in graphical genome browsers. The old-style “reload on refresh” browsers (UCSC, Gbrowse, Ensembl) were starting to look a bit Web 1.0. This sparked plenty of discussion, including a pointer to X:Map: a very nice alternative view of Ensembl data using the Google Maps API. Jump forward to today and thanks to Euan’s del.icio.us feed via FriendFeed, I discover Genome Projector, which takes the zoom-able Google Maps idea to a new level. And that’s how social networks let you discover stuff. Brilliant.

It was my intension to write a post every day, but there are two reasons I could not live up to that. First of all it was the high temperatures in the city. At arrival it was already 27 degrees Celcius and it only went up, and unfortunately the airconditioning at the hotel could only condition the air the other way around, max 6 degrees UP, not down. The second reason was the scale and intensity of the conference. All activities, presentations and social interactions were keeping me mentally and physically too occupied to just quietly sit down and concentrate. I am going list the subjects that I will post on more extensively later. The highlight of Inforum 2007 for me were: the presentation of Péter ...
