Qwiji is the world’s first Web-Shows publishing platform, it’s free, and no download is required.
A web show is an exciting alternative to casual browsing, allowing you to lay back and watch the web as it was meant to be.
Same as a TV program, the show host will guide you through the most interesting and relevant web sites & videos within our interactive show-board interface. Our motivation is to provide you with a smart, simple & fun on-line experience. We encourage you to PLAY shows, create your own shows and share with your friends. Qwiji is in Beta, so your participation and feedback is vital to our success, go a’head and join us. Qwiji is on the move, we’ll keep uploading new features, Web-Show genres and much more, so stay tuned.
Web Shows are the only way to watch the web. Yes, just like you watch a TV program on your TV set, the Web Show allows you to lay back and watch content, videos, images that were gathered by your host, edited and annotated by the host. Besides the smart concept, it also looks great ! Web Shows are displayed in Qwiji Board (or Qboard as we call it) which give you the ultimate experience and control.
We’ve been active in the web arena before someone called it 1.0 and we’ll probably keep using no matter what name it gets. We’re passionate about the web, the creation, the communities, the wisdom and creativity. However, one thing in particular disturbs us most: the browsing experience. Have you noticed that the major change in the browsers in the last 15 years was the tabs functionality? We believe that the browser should provide a much more intuitive, rich & entertaining experience. We will strive to re-invent your web browsing.

Embracing all of the World’s symbology would be too big a task for any semiotician. Symbols.com deals with mainly Western signs that are non-pictorial. So, continue reading for an explanation of the terms.
The word symbol is derived from the Greek word symbolon. In ancient Greece it was a custom to break a slate of burned clay into several pieces and distribute them within the group. When the group reunited the pieces were fitted together (Greek symbollein). This confirmed the members belonging to the group.
An ideogram is a special type of symbol, a graphic sign for an idea or concept. For instance, the graph 
represents the G-clef in musical notation and the switch for treble range on sound reproducing appliances. It is therefore an ideogram.
36:11 · An alchemical sign for gold-leaf or gold-foil, i.e. gold that has been pressed so thin that it can float on the breath. Gold was the only metal that the alchemists could hammer out to such extreme thinness.
Compare with 2609 and 2415 for gold.
Alphabetic letters are not considered ideograms proper in this work. But as the first letter in the alphabet A not only is a sign for a specific sound, but also denotes the idea of something that comes first. Consider expressions like “A grade” and “A-team”. A may therefore be regarded as a sign.
A sign is called iconic if it has some perceivable likeness to what it denotes. In the opposite case, it is called aniconic.
However, whether iconic or aniconic, graphical symbols and signs that are not pictures of easily recognized objects are called non-pictorial. These non-pictorial symbols and signs are the subject matter of Symbols.com.
2,500 signs are included in Symbols.com!
