The US Census Bureau has released its very first public API, allowing developers to create web and mobile apps based on the government's collection of demographic and economic statistics.
The Bureau launched the API Thursday, alongside a new "app gallery" website where users can view and download apps that have already been built. With the API, developers will have access to two sets of statistical databases: the 2010 Census, and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. The former includes the latest data on population, age, sex, race, and home ownership, while the latter offers more socio-economic statistics, covering fields like education, income, and employment.
The Census Bureau is encouraging developers to create apps that are customized to consumer needs, and to share their ideas on its Developers Forum page. Thus far, there are already two apps available on the Bureau's site. NewsBlur. Ideas Come From Everywhere by Marissa Mayer. Exobrain - Brainstorming tool and interactive web application. Exobrain Looks Like An Awesome Mind Mapping Tool.
Visualizing the ideas that you have in your brain is a tall order.
Many of us creative types tend to carry around pads of paper and gravitate towards white boards to jot down our thoughts and scribbles. A really helpful tool to extract exactly how our ideas might become an actual “thing” is by using mind mapping software, which basically lets you create a cloud of words, ideas and thoughts that can connect to one another. A service that will be entering beta soon called Exobrain could become the killer tool to take the mind mapping concept to the next level.
Not much is known about the service, other than it was created by Colin Dunn and Nick Gauthier, and is still in development. There’s a demo that you can play around with though to see if this is something that might float your boat. This video will give you a good idea of what you can do with Exobrain: MetaWatch - Home. DuckDuckGo. 1Q: Natural sound for your mobile life by David Laituri. Welcome. Trello. Search In Cursive: Google Now Lets You Hand-Write Search Queries On Phones And Tablets.
Google just added a new feature to its mobile search page that lets you hand-write search queries in cursive and block letters.
Once you have enabled this new feature, you can simply start writing on your screen and Google will translate your scribbles into a legible search query. The new feature will work on iOS5+ devices, as well as Android 2.3+ phones and Android 4.0 tablets. You can write both single letters and complete words on the screen (assuming they are short enough to fit on your phone’s screen). In our brief test, this new feature worked surprisingly well. As Google notes, this feature should come in especially handy when “you’re standing on a busy street corner, in a bumpy taxi ride, talking with a friend, or sitting on the couch with your tablet.”
To enable this feature on your phone, just head for the settings menu at the bottom of Google’s mobile search screen (or on the top right if you are on a tablet) and look for the new “Handwrite” option.

Koding (Gradually) Opens Its Social, In-Browser Development Tools To Everyone. Koding, the startup that helps developers code and collaborate from their web browser, is leaving private beta today.
The company isn’t exactly throwing the doors open. It’s more like … nudging? The goal is to make the product available to everyone, but the company is opening gradually, with the hope of not overloading its servers. Nicira's $1.26 Billion Path From Espionage to Acquisition. Over the last couple of years, data center aficionados in Silicon Valley have spent an awful lot of time gushing over Nicira Networks, a startup that promised to revolutionize the networking industry.
Now the gushing has turned to jaw-dropping jealousy, as VMware (VMW) has just agreed to buy Nicira for $1.26 billion in cash and stock. Nicira has been billed as the virtual networking company. This basically means it’s using software to handle a lot of networking functions typically done by hardware such as switches to help computers communicate with each other. In a traditional data center, administrators have to configure the physical wiring among switches, storage systems, and computers and set up pretty rigid policies to govern the flow of information across all the hardware. The software approach favored by Nicira adds flexibility because people can use a control screen to adjust virtual connections as they see fit. Anypic.
