• WeGoAll - WeGoAll creates fraternity and sorority websites. Our content management system helps promote fraternity and sorority chapters by enabling them to professionally present themselves online. WeGoAll makes it easy for organizations to have a great website with a lot of features: news, events, profiles, accept donations, sell items, search, pictures, calendars, groups, and much more. WeGoAll also helps organizations to facilitate communication with potential new members and current members. We offer unlimited storage of photos and files thanks to Amazon S3.
• Gears In Motion - Gears in Motion is a user interface that allows you to easily manage your google gears databases. It can be easily added to the development versions of your applications.
• Social Routing - This application is a maps hack that uses the traffic APIs to show you how likely it is to arrive some place in time. As the really cool social extra it also interfaces with twitter to allow for your friends or “people in the field” to report street blockages and gridlock as and where they occur and offers shortcuts and alternatives based on the wisdom of the community using the app.
• myZen - myZen allows you to connect to Flickr from your mobile phone. You can see your own photos, see your contact photos, see interesting and most recent upload to Flickr. Uh, you can also directly upload photos taken from your mobile to your Flickr account automatically! And, and you can read and write comments on those photos - all from your mobile. No longer you need to run to your PC to do everything
