e-zwich payment system : an innovative method for improving accessibility to banking and retail services in Ghana.

e-zwich is the brand name for the National Switch and Smart card payment system. The e-zwich payment system is an innovative method for improving accessibility to banking and retail services in Ghana. The e-zwich system offers Deposit taking financial institutions (i.e. Universal banks, Rural banks and Savings and Loans) a platform that enables them to interoperate.

This therefore, enables e-zwich cardholders to perform banking and retail transactions at the outlets of other e-zwich financial institutions.

As an e-zwich cardholder, you have available to you a large group of banks and their branches where your e-zwich transactions can be performed. It is therefore no more necessary to commute to a specific bank just to do banking transactions. The e-zwich smart-card is currently the only card in Ghana that provides the convenience of nationwide access as well as greater control over transactions for cardholders, retail merchants and other corporate users.

Features include:
1 Transaction
2 Security
3 Interoperability

MySidekick : a social search engine that learns from you and gets smarter as you search.

MySidekick is a social search engine that learns from you and gets smarter as you search. We allow people to find and submit sites that are automatically tagged with terms used during the search session. These tagged sites are then anonymously shared with the mySidekick community to provide better results for all.

How it Works

When you search for stuff online, you might change your search request a few times before you finally find what you are looking for. In fact, if you're like the rest of us, you'll change your search request about three to four times during an average search. MySidekick groups these search requests together as a set of "tags" that describe the topic you and other people have researched.

They then use our special relevancy algorithms to figure out exactly which sites people liked for those tags, and promote those sites as the "People's Choice" for other mySidekick community members. When other people search for a similar topic, these tags help them more easily find what they are looking for in the People Choice's area. The end result is better search results for everyone.

Suggested Sites

Once you're signed in, you can also suggest a site that would be useful for a particular search request. If other people think your suggested site is relevant to their topic, the site will be placed higher in the results both for the tags you suggested and the tags that other people find relevant to the site.

BlueSwarm.org allows you to easily keep up with what your friends are doing all over the web.
If you're like most people you have user accounts for multiple services on the web. You might have a del.icio.us account to manage your bookmarks, a digg.com account to track your diggs and maybe a youtube.com account for all your videos. Wouldn't it be nice to have all of those content items in one convenient place? So when you want to share your web presence with your friends all you have to do is give them one place to look.

That's what we have attempted to create. BlueSwarm.org is your one stop site to gather all your different services in one place so you or your friends can get an idea of what you find intersting on the web, all in one place.

Since BlueSwarm.org pulls the information that you already have on all the other services you are already using it's a breeze to sign up. And then just keep doing what you've always been doing and as you digg, tag or upload using your favorite service, your BlueSwarm.org page will update automatically.

WikiYou : A place for Unauthorized biographies .

Google might be working to archive all of the world's information, but WikiYou is trying to get unauthorized biographies for every person on earth.

Seems a bit out there, but nonetheless it is an intriguing experiment. WikiYou is breaking new grounds by taking the Wikipedia direction to the mainstream. You see, if you write a biography on Wikipedia, the sources have to be reliable and verifiable, leaving many regular people in the dark. But with WikiYou, regardless if sources are reliable or verifiable, biographies will get up.

Could this project turn in to a giant mess of spam? Or could it actually work out so that we can have open records and stories for everyone on earth? So far it looks like its runny smoothly with many every day people inputting biographies, and many of their friends and contacts adding to them.

Pr.odigio.us - Work Hard, Take Credit

Prodigious is for anyone who wants to know who is responsible for a site they like, and anyone that wants to take credit for the sites they make.

For instance, you need a website built and you have found some other sites that you think are great. You'd like to contact the agencies that made the sites to discuss your project, but don't know how to find them.
Or, you are an agency, and you make great sites. You want potential clients to be able to find you.Prodigious can help in both cases. And, it's easy! And Free!

RSS Mixer all feeds lead to one

Life without feeds would be one of sifting through thousands of endless stories and visiting website after website for content. Thanks to RSS, our lives have been ever so simplified.

OPML has been the typical approach to combining all RSS feeds into a single file that can be exported and imported into any feed reader. Then along comes RSS Mixer. This online tool lets users combine all favorite feeds into one. The drawback to using this is that you cannot simply upload an OPML file, you have to add multiple feeds. But if you have a few feeds that you wanted to follow no matter where you are, like via a mobile device like an iPhone or a widget embedded in your iGoogle homepage, this is a cool way to go. Users start off by giving a title to their 'Mix', then adding feed URL's into the Mix. When RSS Mixer is complete, users get the option to link to the mix, create an Apple Dashboard widget, create a Web Widget, get an RSS feed for the combined feeds, and launch an iPhone version of the mix.

It's a pretty impressive way to easily mix up RSS feeds, and stay on top of them no matter where you are. Our only wish, give us the chance to upload an OPML file.
