- All They Need is Just to Find Each Other

A new initiative by a web2.0 company comes to solve a long inherent problem in the advertisement market. Xywidgets which specializes in service oriented widgets, and that recently presented Bnarrator, a website narration widget, has opened http://www.Getadnet.com which is a meeting place between advertisers and ad networks.

The problem which Getadnet addresses is a communication barrier between the companies wishing to advertise their products or services, and the ad networks or the newer ad representative firms.

A genome sequence is a long sequence written in a four letter code—3 billion letters in the case of a human genome. How genomic code is deciphered is traditionally left to professional annotators who use information from a number of sources (for instance, knowledge about similar genes in other organisms) to work out where a gene starts, stops and what it does. Even the "gold standard" of professional annotation is an exceptionally slow process.

However, new crowdsourcing technology hopes to provide a faster solution. Don't cringe, scientists, but it's Wikipedia.

Andrew Su, John Huss III and colleagues have established a 'Gene Wiki', an online repository of information on human genes, within Wikipedia. They envision a network of articles, created by a computer program and enhanced by user comments, which will describe the relationship and functions of all human genes.
