Sociocast Unveils Personalization Platform
Sociocast Networks introduced this week its personalization and discovery technology, which will blossom first in a fashion site to be privately tested in October. Based on a combination of artificial intelligence and social network dynamics, the content delivery platform aims to leverage “associative memories” and “influencer networks” to help users find the information they want without having to create filters to encapsulate their desires.

An Open-Source Trip into the Semantic Web - TripBlox
The idea is that users can publish trip information on their own blogs, using XHTML or hAtom microformats and some semantic web markups, so that TripBlox can become aware of the existence of the formatted data. It will consume that information and pull it together with related information to become something of a search engine for trip ideas.
