  • Touted as "a Web 3.0 Search Engine designed to provide customized meaningful search results", <a href="http://kngine.com">Kngine</a> aspires to be the next leader of the Semantic Web or commonly known as Web 3.0. The Washington-based revolutionary Semantic search engine functions similarly to Wolfram Alpha, but much better (based on my personal opinion). 

Unlike traditional search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing which simply return documents that might contain the answers, Kngine is capable of providing search results that contain a higher degree of relevance to the user's search query.

  • Sometimes we simply can't squeeze every word we would like to convey in a single tweet, all thanks to Twitter's 140-character limit. But you can't blame the micro-blogging service.

To resolve the issue, Biz Stone & Co. then decided on implementing the 140-character limit, whereby 20 characters are reserved for your username. 

So if you're looking for ways to shorten your tweets, I've compiled a list of "5 Clever Tools To Shorten Your Tweet". They will come in handy when necessary.
