Weekend roundup: Mashups, mobile apps, is your boss an asshole

Every weekend we’ll be bringing you a list of cool stories, projects, ideas and startups that you may not have seen. It’s just a little extra service, because we love our community.

Is your boss an asshole?
If you’ve ever wondered whether your boss is an asshole, you’ll love Guy Kawasaki’s handy list. No more guesswork, now you can have a definitive answer. If it turns out that your boss is an asshole, you can start your own crowdsourced business here at Cambrian House.

Yahoo Pipes
Pipes attracted so much attention when it launched earlier this week that the traffic from eager information addicts like me actually took it offline for several hours. Data mashups aren’t new to the tech community, but Pipes offers a fantastic visual interface that allows anybody to combine information without technical know-how.

IMified
Control web apps from your Blackberry (or any other device with instant messaging capabilities) using IMified. Now you can use Salesforce, Google Calendar, Basecamp and several other great apps via instant messengers. IMified is totally self-funded, and looking to tie into APIs from many other popular services.

Update: On Valentine’s Day, IMified “broke up” with MSN because Microsoft wasn’t working with them to support the service. Other instant messaging services are still supported.

  1. Just some guy who wouldn't work there... Says:

    Its funny you mention the Guy Kawasaki list about if your boss is an asshole. I have a little footnote/addendum:

    12) do you work for Cambrian House?

    If you answered yes to this question - booya! Your boss (I’m looking at you MJ!) is my personal definition of an asshole.

    The good news is - this doesn’t make *you* an asshole. Thank god for you!

    Good luck guys - see you when MJ burns through the funding like it’s ‘99.

    Just some guy….

    P.S. Who the hell could you sucker into buying that DVD anyway? Christ….
