Computer keyboards are indispensable, no doubt about it. However, if you say you want to search on the Web solely rely on keyboard, and use it like the steering steels and without any touch on your mouse, you’ll need this newly launched home page called Keyboardr.

Keyboardr was built by Julius Eckert from Cologne, Germany. It is a part-time project that initially served as a future version of a project he worked with his friends called Chosr. While the site look like a 90’s home page, it’s intend to help you gain a different Internet experience, and keeping your fingers on the keyboard, and eventually throw away your mouse.

To try it, you can type a simple keyword on the search bar. And whenever the keyword is, the Google Web and blog results shall always appeared in the left-hand side, and the right-hand side, you’ll find Keyboardr is aggregating the results from Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google Images. To navigate the search results, you don’t need to learn a new set of Keyboardr’s own keyboard shortcuts, just move the arrow key with the direction of up-down-left-right, and it’s go. To open any search result or view the full lists of a particular Web service, simply press Enter.

I can’t say it’s a sort of meta search engine, as its presented, will integrate more popular Web services such as FriendFeed, Twitter, Flickr, and many more to the Keyboardr. Think of it as a home page with search capability among all the favorite Web services, though it only displays a handful of search results on the front page.

Scrumy, exactly what its say. This Web application is derived from a word of scrum, and concerned of the management of projects. All of the terminologies from scrum process such as backlog, sprint, burndown chart are being used in this application. For some who have been involved before in an agile method in developing software, these terminologies are some of the commonly used terminologies.

In fact, Scrumy is a newly launched online project management tool that differentiates itself by its user-friendliness. In using it, users will find a virtual task board, and they’re allowed to share the projects anywhere and anytime since each project will carried with a specific sub-directory. The interface of the task board is visually user-friendly and there are only five (5) core elements that are STORIES, i.e. the task, To Do, In Progress, Verify, i.e. the progress that reviewed by the team, and lastly Done, i.e. task completed. Users can create as many stories (grouping of tasks) as they want, and a box will be prompted out if click the plus sign and they can write the task on the box and assign the task to one of the team members. Other feature include the ability to drag and drop the box to the right element, as aforesaid in above. In short, Scrumy is a very simple and yet intuitive application, apart from understanding the terminology that layered in the task board.

Scrumy is a Knockout Apps, which is still in development phase. Currently, Scrumy is offered for free as a hosted project, with Pro version is priced at $7/month, or $60 per annum. For the Pro version, it comprised the features of password protection, information about the past projects, backlog, burndown charts, time tracking (sprint) and as a result, users can have a more realistic picture of how their projects will be played out. Also, Pro version users can export their projects in the xml format.

As I read Scrumy’s official blog, they’re continually roll out some useful features purposely for the Pro users. Meanwhile, you can check out the live Pro project at its demo page.

I’ve came across a Mp3 search engine called MusicBiatch weeks ago. This MusicBiatch, touted itself as the world’s greatest music search engine didn’t seemed that great at all when they first launched on the Web. While I checked it out last week, it was offline, and I wanted to test the download link, the URL redirection service its used called Anym Link Anonymizer is also offline days ago.

MusicBiatch is a music search engine that aggregate results from around various online storing sites, majority of them are from Esnips. It purported that it has indexed more than 1 billion mp3 files in its search database. You can search the music search engine by Artist name, song, both Artist name and song as well as tags. Although MusicBiatch indexes mp3 files, they also indexes wma files from across the Web. For every song, you have the option of listening the song, embed it, or download the song to your desktop computer. Additionally, you also can add the MusicBiatch search plugin to the list of engines available in your browser’s search bar.

Meanwhile, MusicBiatch also compiled a music chart for its users and its existing business model is based on Google AdSense.

While I was actively looking for a good notification service to alert me on the kind of notifications that I’d like to receive, and this has led me to a site called notify.me. Now with this notify.me, I’ll get the options of receiving latest and real-time updates via mobile phone SMS, IM (Instant Messenger), and email, instead of having to constantly check the variety of sites for the notifications.

There are many types of notifications that notify.me offered to the users. This could be the latest technology news profiled on Slashdot.org, or world news reported on CNN.com, or any news feed you subscribed to, and based on your preference, you can enable notify.me to send the notifications to your IM, SMS, or email. Notify.me’s future plan is to enable its users to receive notifications via their desktop applications. As a result, a kind of client software that utilizing notify.me’s service will be offered to the users very soon.

To further empower users in using notify.me conveniently, users might need to add the notify.me bookmarklet to their Web browsers. For the users, however, this could be seen as an easy way that will help them to receive the notifications from the variety of services solely from the Web interface. For example, if you want to receive your real-time updates from your Twitter, Facebook, etc. just visit these sites, and click “Add to notify.me”, this will gives you the option of receiving the latest notifications of these sites (but make sure you get the right RSS feed format). Additionally, for the content notifications, you can filter it by any keyword you type into the filter box in order to add a filter. Along with this feature, you also can click any of the three (3) icons, i.e. IM, SMS, email and make it highlighted so that you’re able to receive notifications based on the highlighted communication channel.

Greenseng is not just a search engine. It describes itself in which it is different from any other ordinary search engine, but a search engine that goes green. Perhaps you’ll ask, “Do we really need a green search engine?” To promote a green lifestyle while we conducting search on the Web from a green point of view, we do really need a green search engine.

In fact, Greenseng was powered by CO2Stats, a company that helps in making Web sites green. CO2Stats was owned by Enernetics, Inc. and Enernetics was a company that co-founded by Alex Wissner-Gross and Timothy M. Sullivan in October 2007, a Y Combinator-funded technology firm. Its strongest appeal for the users is that it is a green certified site since it is powered by CO2Stats, and while users using Greenseng in searching on the Web, it will helps them to offset the carbon emissions through CO2Stats.

When you’re conducting search on Greenseng, the search results are powered by Google search, and at the bottom of every page, there’s a small and tiny Green Certified Site logo that will list the total CO2 emissions of your search.

Although Greenseng is only covered the Web search at this moment, I’m glad to see that it is a good solution for Internet users for minimizing the global warming effect when searching on the Web. As a result, when using it more and more, we’re ensure that we’ll live in a more greener lifestyle.

To share things online, there is a mini-blogging service called Posterous. It works quite similar to Tumblr, which means when you get started, you can get the option of post a note, a photo, URL link, video, MP3, or a file via email or mobile phone (U.S. only), and all of your entries will be shown in a beautiful and elegant manner.

On Posterous, each of the entries will be presented in three elements, i.e. heading, content, and comment. If you only post the photo, or video such as YouTube clip as the content of all of your entries, without any written text and heavily based on graphical use, you’ll find the consistency of your Posterous entries presented on the Web, and visitors would likely know your life-stream or your daily-life via the photo or video clip found on your Posterous. Other than the aforesaid features, all users’ Posterous will have its own customized URL, as the username you chosen will be served as the sub-domain of the customized URL on Posterous.

By exploring Posterous, there are many well written Posterous blogs and if you find one you like, you can subscribe to it by clicking the “Subscribe” link beneath the user’s Posterous. Also, if you like one of the entries, you can favorite it. However, from a commodity feature point of view, the most notable feature in Posterous probably is the post an entry by using email. After a user signing up to this Posterous, she can start to post things on her profile via email. Simply email Posterous at post@posterous.com using the email you signed up to the service and they’ll reply instantly with your new Posterous blog. I’m one of the Posterous users, and frankly, I like the prompt submission of my entry within a few seconds.

Other than that, Posterous recently also launched the “Autopost” feature. This Autopost allows you to post your entry to your Posterous, in the mean time also post it to some other platforms such as your registered Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, Movable Type, LiveJournal and Xanga account. Not to mention they also introduced the tagging feature, a feature will become a strong welcome addition that allows your Posterous to be discovered by Google or other blog search engines through all the tags you entered. Similarly to Tumblr, you also can use your custom domain name for your Posterous. However, as a personal users, you’ll only get the storage space of 1G for your account.

Overall, though I believed that Posterous would like to be the central hub for one in posting mini-blog, and it seemed like they’re dare to try new things, it will be interesting to see if they will succeed in the crowded mini-blogging sphere in the long run.

To know more about Posterous, it is co-founded by Sachin Agarwal and Garry Tan, both are graduates of Stanford University. Posterous also a Y Combinator-funded company.
