Tired of crappy software?
AlternativeTo is a new approach to finding good software. Tell it what application you want to replace and we give you great alternatives, based on user recommendations. It is a new website which I believe that it will help to help open source software to find its users because nowadays you can find an alternative to any payed and proprietary software.

In the website I found a citation which I liked a lot:

“Whether you’re looking for an alternative to expensive commercial software or just trying to get a feel for what’s out there, AlternativeTo is a handy service for finding software alternatives.”

It may sound wired, but it looks a good idea which I was looking for for a long time. The most annoying in social networks that it is easy to enter but once you are in, you can not stop it. Today I found this online service that I hope it will do what I could not do by myself.
Social networks are our today’s big mistake of technology. I see internet as a tool to help connecting the world but when it comes to social networking it go beyond the limit of privacy and common sense. I don’t say it is a mistake of Internet, It is a mistake of human who use it for one purpose to cash in on naivety of people and serve them targeted advertisement and break their natural defenses of strangers fear.

Using this tool, it will delete all you information and change your account so it becomes un-useful.

My specialty is robotics, but this time I made another kind of robot: it is a chat robot.
The idea is simple. you chat with my robot in any Jabber client like Google talk.
You can try to add “kristou@bot.im” to the list of your friends and start a conversation.

For the moment, it is just simple. I made it only as a proof of concept and to have a hand on.
If you like it, or you think it is useful. just drop me a comment and I will try to implement it.

This bot also work on Twitter, Facebook, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, AIM…

For the moment only Jabber network is working. If you want to try it with above networks just let me know.
