Scour your searches and get Visa gift card vouchers

Scour is the new shape of the old aftervote search engine company launched in 2007. Scour lets you search by aggregating your serach engines (Google, Yahoo, Live) and adds community and social networking power to their service. I guess the driver to attract new users is the reward system collecting points per search plus 25% from your friends. The service works nicely, noticed though that you have to live within any of these countries; Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, U.S., and U.K. If you the reward system is pretty useless.

If you want to play with you are welcome to use the following invite link:

QuviQ - Automatic test tools for your software

QuviQ is a small software test tool startup company. The software is written in the somewhat niche laguage Erlang. The CEO John Hughes has a long history in computer science at the Chalmers University in Gothenburg and the Erlang language. He has been awarded the software of the year award at the Erlang users conference. Quviq's product is to enable auto testing by focusing on users writing formal Quviq specifications instead of test cases. The Quiviq system is using contolled random testing against your code. The analysis of failure cases are also simplified by extracting information in such a way that analysis afterwards gets much faster. The QuviQ specification language, Erlang is open source but the QuviQ libraries are company proprietary.
