www.socialmention.com is a useful tool for trend analysis.

This is great news.  Jon Cianciullo has done it again.  His app Social Mention has just won the prize for "Most innovative use of the Open Search API" at the Myspace Developer Challenge.

Social Mention is a social media search and analysis platform that aggregates user generated content into a single stream of information. It allows users to track and measure what people are saying about a topic across the web’s social media landscape in real-time. Social Mention integrates with the MySpace Open Search API to provide photo and video results to be analyzed in its social media search results, emails alerts, and RSS feeds.

The prize is a nice $10K.  Way to go Jon! 

Here is the link to the story.

A note on what’s to come:

People in seven European countries have expressed willingness to try “NoMix” toilets that keep crap and urine separate, allowing for more efficient waste processing and less seepage of urine-borne pharmaceuticals into the water supply. The study was conducted with 2700 people in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, with 80 percent supporting the toilets. Even higher numbers were willing to use urine as fertilizer.

The article doesn’t discuss infrastructural issues, though: would you need a second black-water sewer for the yellow gold?
