SpongeTech Delivery Systems, “The Smarter Sponge”, announced today that the Company has agreed to invest $4 million in GetFugu, a technology company that focuses on developing mobile search tools. The investment is a result of GetFugu’s successful customization of its mobile based web search and e-commerce technology specifically designed for SpongeTech.
SpongeTech will be the first company to utilize GetFugu’s innovative mobile search platform.
GetFugu will point SpongeTech consumers to the nearest retail location that carries SpongeTech products based on the GPS functionality available in most mobile phones and/or be automatically connected to SpongeTech’s corporate Internet e-commerce portal to buy SpongeTech products on-line.
The unique “See It,” vision recognition (ARL) ”Say It,” voice recognition (VRL); ”Find It,” location recognition (GRL); and “Get It,” Hot-Spotting services is targeted at the growing surge of the world’s population that regularly utilize mobile phones to search for entertainment, news, sports, shopping, and every other thing available on the Internet.
“SpongeTech expects to be in over 100,000 locations nationwide by the end of the year. Purchases of our products are primarily impulse oriented, driven by our extensive branding and advertising campaigns. As we look to immediately satisfy our customers demand, utilizing the most personal and accessible device available, GetFugu will literally change the way consumers behave,” commented COO of SpongeTech, Steven Moskowitz.
GetFugu is the first technology architect to provide a carrier agnostic, platform agnostic mobile search platform. GetFugu will change the way people access the web with their mobile phones. It is designed to encourage use of its applications by simply integrating the mobile phones’ core strengths (image recognition, voice recognition, location recognition) into a single customizable application.
Additionally, GetFugu offers the only mobile hot-spotting ecommerce platform available worldwide today. The GetFugu platform will be available for 97% of the mobile phones available (over 3.3 billion handsets) worldwide.

Today, there’s a great news for the blogosphere that I would like to share with you.
RSSCloud, invented by Dave Winer–the father of RSS, has been applied to *all* Wordpress blogs.
This is amazing when you think about how many invaluable blogs are hosted on wordpress.com
Since Lazyfeed is all about delivering contents in real-time, we will be integrating RSSCloud with Lazyfeed to make Lazyfeed even faster. Once we implement it, Lazyfeed will start sending you instant notifications about your favorite topics as soon as contents are published through Wordpress. It will really be like an instant messenger then.
We will start implementing it now, and will let you know when we are ready to apply it officially.
Today is a great day in evolution of RSS. Thank you Dave and Matt, for making this happen.

- Scobleizer: RSS=Robert’s Stuff is Saved (will it do the same for CNN’s Twitter account?)

Every time a new search engine pops up, bloggers, journalists and analysts get all worked up about its potential (or otherwise) to be a ‘Google Killer.’ I’ve written about this before, and really can’t understand the apparent obsession with ‘killing’ a company that’s continuing to do remarkably well at meeting the needs of millions. It’s not perfect, of course, and there’s always room for more innovation/competition, but does Google need to die in the process?
It was therefore something of a relief to talk with William Tunstall-Pedoe, and to hear his talk of ‘complementing’ the Google search experience. William is CEO of Cambridge-based True Knowledge, a company that markets its technology as an ‘Answer Engine.’
The True Knowledge web site has been around for a while, largely serving as technology show case and source of new knowledge for the voracious machine rather than as a serious destination site in its own right. Far more interesting is the way that the underlying technology enriches your everyday search experience via browser plugins, and augments third party sites and services (like hotly anticipated virtual personal assistant, Siri) by means of an API.
Have a listen to hear William’s views on what the company can do, and the ways in which it can enrich existing user behaviors.
William Tunstall-Pedoe is an AI technology entrepreneur. He is currently CEO of True Knowledge which he founded based on research he began in 1998 and he has more than twenty-five years experience of both developing and commercially exploiting software products that push the boundaries of what is possible in Artificial Intelligence. In addition to inventing the technology on which True Knowledge is based, William is also credited with being the first and only person to develop software that can solve and explain cryptic crossword clues.
He is also the developer of Anagram Genius – a software product that has been used by approximately five million people and which generated the anagrams that appear in the best-selling Da Vinci Code book and movie.
