Wonderloop: a new way to make friends with video profiling

ImageA social network start-up reportedly allows users to meet new people with same interests or location, and is the first ever-site to have video profiles.

Wonderloop, the first of its kind to have video profiles, allowing users to make the same of first impression one would make in real life, it has interactions which are also open-endedone would have with friends, business partners or customers.

According to Mashable, a social media consultant in Norway, Hanna Aase is the brainchild behind the innovative social network, an iOS app that is in invite-only beta currently, with each user given three invitations to share.

Wonderloop users can create video profiles limited to 20 seconds, including name, location and any number of tags, however, a user cannot browse profiles until their own is uploaded, but the video can be replaced at any time.

Aase said that the reason she chose video profiles is because they come closer than anything else to mimicking real life.

The report added that Aase's goal is to now build the initial community in Wonderloop, with people having a variety of interests and ages.

1. Irrelevant Elements By far, the biggest issue I come across with new site launches is this: They use too many elements that bring no real value to the audience. In fact, these often just downgrade user experience considerably. There are too many crowded designs and too much text on one page. There are too many icons and photos. Does your site really need a search bar? Do you really need to show the tag cloud in your blog sidebar? Think hard. What are the 20% of elements that bring 80% of the results you're after? Start there. Always have a sound reason for adding new features, bells and whistles. Never add more stuff just because it seems "cool and hip." - Juha Liikala , Stripped Bare Media 2.

It is best to avoid them entirely. - Josh Weiss , Bluegala 3. Photo Carousel A lot of sites stil

How noise-cancelling technology works for headphones    Bose pioneered the concept of noise-cancelling headphones way back in 1989 after more than 10 years of research. ET explains how this fascinating technology works. Noise cancellation in the car You may have experienced that some cars are quieter than others - this is because of the special attention paid to insulating materials (special laminated glass for example). However, there's only so much that passive noise isolation can accomplish inside the complicated acoustics of the car. That's why luxury carmakers have been implementing active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The same active noise cancelling technologies used in headphones can be easily implemented in a car. See image for details. How it works Simply put, active noise cancellation works by 'listening' to unwanted ambient sounds, and then producing a s
