Interesting software / concept that couples an online suggestion box for ideas, with a virtual stock market. Users can buy ’shares’ in an idea, driving up its value…nice for encouraging a bit of competition into the mix I reckon.

Multimap have been integrated their service with Twitter to produce….their Twitterbot.
What is it you ask? Well, to be honest, it is a little arcane, and quite a long way from being natural language. It’s definitely cool, because Colm says so - but guys, surely you could a better job of explaining what you might actually do with it 
?
