Imagine A Youniverse of Pictures

Posted on 09 June 2008 by JoCoWash

Another dating site in amongst us so what does the new dating service have that others do not? Simply put – Images. Youniverse.com is a site and a network that connects people with image tests. Youniverse.com uses images to discover people’s interests, character, and style. I thought to myself, “how cool is that,” so I headed over to the site to see why it is craving so much attention.

Upon arriving at the website, you are instantly greeted with images. You may get confused as to what they are supposed to be, until you read the question above the images. Individuals take an image test where they are asked questions and told to respond by choosing the image that best embodies the answer. Youniverse.com has a love test that asks questions about love and has you answer with images. Once you have finished the tests you will get a description of your perception of love. The answer to the image test is your visualDNA. Once you have taken the love test you can create a profile. You can find love by searching for users with similar visualDNA. Besides finding people with similar visualDNA you can find gifts that you will find attractive and appeal to your taste. Find the perfect match and great valentine products at Youniverse.com.

We’ve developed a way of understanding people’s feelings with the help of over 5 million people who have come from all over the world to our sister site, Imagini.net. 
As a result, everyone that’s part of Youniverse will eventually be able to have a relationship with the internet that’s guided by their feelings
.”

The site is very unique and I am sure their uniquness will be rewarded with great numbers. Youniverse is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imagini Holdings (www.imagini.net), the inventor of VisualDNATM, so the team knows what they are doing. The two sites may appear to be the same, but differences arise when you take a closer look. The site is clean, simple, fun, and – off the record – a little creepy. “Through our behavioral assessment tool we will allow people to discover more about themselves and, as a result, meet and connect with people in more meaningful and true ways,” said Alex Willcock, founder and CEO of Youniverse. However, you will enjoy it. It is very intreguing, and there is the prospect of meeting the woman/man of your dreams based on commonalities of your answers so go ahead and try it out!

Music in a Qloud

Posted on 19 November 2007 by JoCoWash

I have never heard of Qloud until I was browsing through the Facebook applications. If you use Facebook, then this nifty little application will turn your profile page into a nice music lounge.

Qloud hooks up with your iTunes library and gathers any versions of the songs it can find hosted online, while also taking advantage of your iTunes XML file to include such niceties as play counts and the last time you listened a song.

It manages to do this with a plug-in that installs itself on whatever machine your iTunes library resides in. It will periodically check your iTunes XML file, which is the one that has all your track names and metadata for playlist organization, play counts, and song data. It then cross-references this list with any legally hosted versions of the songs online, and will play them with an embedded player right in the app.

While the company says that it take 15-20 minutes for your library to appear after installing the plug-in, I found that it only took about 10 minutes for my 20GBs of music.

I also am a user of Last.fm so it is just as cool seeing the song you just played on iTunes show up on your profile–making Facebook one step closer to having complete control of everything I’m doing. The service is free and plans to release a plug-in for Windows Media player and other platforms in the near future.
