iGlue - a progress report

We thought now would be a good time to keep you all up to date on our progress with iGlue and the IceCube. As you’re aware we’re still in beta at the moment, but after a latest funding round and some great PR from places like The Guardian in the UK, we’re building towards our final push.

We are currently planning our public launch for the end of October. We can never be 100% certain as we want to get the public launch exactly right so that when people do start using it, they have a great experience.

Secondly, as we all know, iGlue is a complicated system at the back end, so that it can be as easy as possible on the front facing end. We’re trying as hard as possible to iron out any issues now so that we don’t experience problems post launch.

One of the biggest features of iGlue is the creation of a worldwide community. This is why we now have Facebook and Twitter areas, where you can keep up with not only our latest news but also semantic web related news we hope you might be interested in. Please add us and also forward on to anyone you think may be interested, to help us build a larger, stronger community.

Thanks from all at iGlue.

How Semantic Web will change marketing forever…

A really interesting piece here on how semantic web will begin to filter out lots of the more useless online advertising we see everyday. We have of course grown accustomed to non-targetted, or at least badly targetted advertising, but with the onset of semantic search, advertisers will be able to better tailor their advertising to your search and also, in time, your personal preferences.

Please check it out, as it directly applies to us all at iGlue.
