With the rising popularity of ride-sharing apps and the increasingly competitive market for such service, it is clear that these apps, which allow for cheaper and easier vehicle sharing or carpooling, are here to stay. CabEasy is one such app with the distinction that its service is available specifically to university students, and it is more effective than others of its kind in connecting users with a community of drivers and riders that they know and trust. Also unlike these other apps, users are not using their personal vehicles. Instead, it is an effective way of getting fellow students to split the cost of a taxi when all are going to the same destination. Users can be “ride pioneers,” who post rides for other riders to join, or ride joiners, who respond to these posts. As many people can take advantage of a ride share as are able to fit in the taxi, and students can save a great deal of money by splitting the cost of the ride anywhere they want to go with the added safety of numbers.

Interning is a business method that has been in use for a long time, and it is extremely effective in benefiting both sides involved. Interns get a great deal of valuable experience, and many are often hired where they perform their internships or move on to a more fitting opportunity. Conversely, companies get help that is usually competent without having to pay the same salary as a regular worker, if any at all. Now, there is a new way to apply technology to this process for potential interns and companies in order to make the best partnerships. StudyHall is a data-driven solution that ensures businesses can hire the best students, who in turn can get jobs with the best companies. It is a talent engine that connects the best college students looking for internship opportunities with companies that are hiring. It works by using a patented algorithm that ranks the top twenty-five students from colleges and universities across the United States into categories such as hackers and social media experts.

Many people have a love for astronomy, and while some are content with simply gazing at the night sky, others fancy themselves amateur astronomers. There have been astronomy apps, some already built in to devices such as the iPad, for some time. These apps may answer our questions and give us a better view of space, but many find it too complex for what they need or desire more features. GoSkyWatch is an app with many features that make it more fun while keeping it simple enough for a child to use. It goes beyond merely showing you what you cannot see without a telescope and, unlike most of its kind that rely on a mobile device’s built-in digital compass, the technology works with the accelerometers in tech devices that ensures images on screens are always displayed upright. Since every phone and tablet has an accelerator, the app works on devices without compasses. Read more »

Social networking, including the ability to share any aspect of our lives that we choose to with virtually anybody at any time, is one of the foremost uses of technology and continues to grow rapidly. Most social media sites have a very broad focus, though some exist based on specific interests or groups of people. Any communication is up to the user, though, and he or she must meet someone in person first before interacting. Conversely, ONE is a social network designed for college students that matches them with other students nearby who share the same interests. It relieves much of the fear of an initial social engagement from those who are not comfortable making an unprepared approach while ensuring that introductions made are more productive. In its developers’ words, ONE brings the power of online social networking to the real world. Read more »
