image thumb Kicksend Brings Its Photo Sharing App To The iPhoneAccording to a research conducted by the NDP Group, 27 percent of all photos taken in 2011 were taken via smartphones, which showed a 10 percent increase from 2010.

image thumb21 Startup Sunday: GenJuice Is The Future Of Social Bookmarking aka Lively!There is one thing why I dislike resorting to the use of aggregators and social bookmarking tools, they are usually unpleasant when it comes to user experience and make life miserable when it comes to searching for whatever you have bookmarked. And in all honesty it was one of the main reasons why I kept aside GenJuice from reviewing. But a day back I did visit the site, primarily because I needed to compile a post for our Startup Sunday and it was way beyond my expectations.

image thumb16 Busuu.com: Saving An Endangered Language, Thank God There Is Internet!

The Internet is helping us in multiple ways and I am definitely not going to narrate lines on how exactly. But a few people utilizing it to protect a language that is on the verge of extinction is indeed one of the best uses you can put the Web to. Busuu is one of them.

The startup had been created to prevent the Busuu language from extinction, which as of the present is only spoken by 8 people in a region of Cameroon. Honestly I didn’t know if a language by this even existed and that is by no means surprising. UNESCO has labeled the language as one the 3,000 critically endangered languages, which is why the folks behind Busuu [the site] though of initiating this startup to create awareness about this language. The idea is simple as they have used a decent layout for the site that lets you create songs, messages in the language and share them across with your friends. Again the whole idea is to spread the word around and muster enough people around to support the Save Busuu campaign.
