Gabriel Opare, a 19-year-old Ghanaian university student is making headlines in the tech industry for building a new search engine to rival Google and YouTube. 
According to Opare, his new search engine, Mudclo, will challenge the dominance of YouTube and Google.

Mudclo is a free search engine for videos where you can discover and stream videos from the different locations on the internet all in one place.  “I believe that my business is good enough and that it can scale globally. It is a legitimate point to say that YouTube is a video hosting website, but they are two different entities. While YouTube is a video hosting website, Mudclo combines the power of YouTube and two other video hosting websites in order to create Mudclo,” he said.

Opare, a level 300 sociology student of the University of Ghana who taught himself how to code by taking online courses during his free time.

Described as one of China’s creative innovations, the Xibot which comes with a small body, large round face and cat-like ears, shares its feelings with other family members and was a hit when originally exhibited at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.
Xibot interacts with its owner in a number of innovative ways, for example gently waking them up in the morning, filling them in on the latest weather forecast and reminding them of the important things they need to do that day.

Her voice-activated command function also responds directly to questions and when the owner is away, Xibot will monitor the house. Using front and back 1080p cameras and a built-in WiFi, she can be remotely controlled as a moving monitor anywhere and anytime.
Xibot is also great at parties. Ask her to take a picture and she will capture every smiling face. The photos can also be sent to the user’s chosen social network, which allows family and friends to instantly share the happiness. She will also make you laugh as you relive the good times.
Designed by a team at Xiaoxi Technology that has over 10 years’ experience in software and hardware development, Xibot is a loyal friend and smart family member that makes life that bit more convenient.

For socialites, the bigger their circle of friends the better their fun and one app is making this kind of social networking both interactive and reliably fast.

‘Shake shake’ is actually a Virtual hand shake
Alright, I guess you’re probably wondering what’s‘Shake shake’? This unique social feature which has been optimized in the latest version Palmchat 5.1.4cleverly simulates the human hand shake in connecting Palmchat users to one another.

How does it work? It’s quite simple, once the ‘Shake shake’ user interface is up, just shake your smart phone and voila, you make an almost instant new friend connection; it feels more like stretching out your hand every instant and giving an imaginary friend a “Nice to meet dude/ babe, so how about we be good friends?”
Not only that the connections are often so effective that most Palmchat pals eventually get to have a sit out!

“I met this dude a Monday, we hung out Friday …”

It’s no magic, one thing that works for this trending app is its ability to connect people based on interest and this feature makes it the rave for socialites because the messaging app is optimized making its social conversion rate quite impressive; users who make connections with other Palmchatters almost certainly get to meet.

Find online date with a “Shake”

Palmchat is fast becoming the choice platform for online dating too and a growing number of young socialites users are hooking up at interest base forums called ‘chat rooms.’ Frankly, latest version Palmchat 5.1.4 isn’t a market leader when compared to the likes of Whatsapp and BBMhowever; the app is gaining quite some traction amongst young thrill seekers.

Get ready to see a whole lot of color in your Facebook News Feed. Facebook added a tool that lets users superimpose a rainbow over their profile pictures on Friday, after the the U.S. Supreme Court struck down g*y marriage bans as unconstitutional in a 5-4 ruling. Same-$ex marriage is now the law of the land in all 50 states. The social network set up a Celebrate Pride page that lets members easily turn their boring profile pictures into ones that celebrate the historic ruling. After visiting the Celebrate Pride page, you’ll see a preview of what your profile picture would look like with a rainbow filter. Clicking the “use as profile picture” button will automatically add the feature to your existing profile photo. While users have uploaded rainbow flags as their avatars in the past to mark same-$ex marriage legalizations in various states, this is the first time Facebook rolled out a tool of its own. Facebook isn’t the only tech company celebrating the ruling. Google added artwork with the colors of the rainbow flag a$$ociated with LGBT pride on search results pages for phrases like “g*y marriage” and “same-$ex marriage.”
