The HandWiki is a internet Wiki-style encyclopedia for professional researchers in various branches of science and computer science.
As other Wiki type encyclopedias, HandWiki is designed for collaborative editing of articles.
One notable feature of HandWiki is that uses dedicated namespaces for each science topic, unlike the traditional
that uses the MediaWiki category concept for all articles. In addition to the categories preserved from , HandWiki has its own categories for local articles. According to the Handwiki designers, this can simplify organization of articles according to each particular topic. The HandWiki is designed using the MediaWiki software with additional extensions for including programming codes.
HandWiki has the following topics included in the dedicated namespaces: Mathematics, Computers, Analysis, Physics, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry.
HandWiki registration policy
Unlike , HandWiki does not allow anonymous editing.
The login to HandWiki is restricted to professional researchers with well-identifiable
qualifications. This is enforced by requiring at least one publication in peer-reviewed journals during registration, after providing ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). This number
uniquely identifies scientific and other academic authors and contributors. As an alternative, a researcher can send an email to the
support team indicating his/her published research article.
According to the HandWiki documentation, who is in charge of removing articles depending on its content. The main idea behind this decision
in October 2019 as a research encyclopedia for data science.
The main motivation was to mitigate 's deletionism (also see the article deletionism and inclusionism in )
for scholarly content, thus acknowledging the problem with the notability for
wiki-style public resources that expose scientific knowledge (see also the article "Criticism of ").
In October 2019, the project is being carried out under the auspices of the members of the jWork portal.
The technical aspect of HandWiki was executed following the standard data analysis principles
Current statistics
In August 2020 HandWiki contained more than 250,000 scholarly articles, and became one of the largest online encyclopaedias of science and computing, exceeding the number of articles in for these topics Most articles, unless stated otherwise, have the standard
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License.
Many articles are imported from the current version of
, as indicated in the footnotes attached to such articles.
The articles are synchronized with , but giving preference to local edits.
The articles were reformatted by removing some standard templates, and all internal references
were redesigned to include articles from different HandWiki namespaces.
A fraction of articles was imported
In August 2020, about 15,200 scholarly articles permanently removed from in 2018-2019 have been restored by the Handwiki team . In 2018 and 2019, such articles did not pass the 's notability requirement.
HandWiki also includes ordinal research articles and articles from other public resources after importing them to the MediaWiki format.
HandWiki documentation advises<ref name=handwiki_faq/> to resubmit the HandWiki articles edited by professional researches back to , after such
articles are sufficiently scrutinized on HandWiki, and can be inserted to following the policy.

SocialCred is a social media ranking App which ranks social media users using several different metrics. SocialCred provides alternative measures of the level of influence brand influencers and individuals have across social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. Users of the app are able to track any social media accounts of their choice to determine its influence or popularity on the platform. This eliminates the fraudulent jerking up of number of engagements by brand influencers.
Usage and features
SocialCred uses four key metrics which include the number of followers, average engagement rate, ratio of original posts to shared posts within a 30-day period. It allocates points to each of these metrics and the total number of points earned determines the rank a user gets. The app analyses social media contents and then determine whether the content is created by the user or copied from other users or platforms. It then measures audience sentiments about a post by classifying it into three different categories: Positive, Negative and Neutral giving insight into how audience receive certain messages.

Vollee is an Israeli-American technology company that develops software intended to allow users to remotely interact with CPU-intensive PC applications by streaming input and output data back and forth across a network. Headquartered in Redwood City, California, its primary focus involves enabling PC games to be played on 3G-compatible mobile phones.
As of this time, Vollee appears to no longer exist. Phone numbers for their California office have been disconnected and their website is no longer reachable. A Mirror of it also appeared but it has been removed as well.
Products and services
VolleeX
Vollee's flagship technology, the VolleeX engine, acts as a bridge between a mobile phone and a Vollee server running a PC game or application. VolleeX converts video and audio output from the application into a proprietary streaming video format, using compression to minimize bandwidth requirements on 3G networks. At the same time, VolleeX takes user input from the mobile device (i.e. button presses), converts this to the appropriate form of input for the PC application (i.e. a mouse click), and streams it back to the server, allowing the user to interact with the application similarly to how one might do so on a PC. Vollee's streaming protocols attempt to minimize lag so as not to cause problems in fast-paced games.
The VolleeX engine also manipulates the game's 3D rendering in a hardware accelerated fashion and in accordance with game profiles created by Vollee's game designers to makes suitable to the target device.
VolleeX's first public implementation was seen in May 2008 with a fully featured mobile client for Second Life.
There is also a video of Vollee client playing World of Warcraft at this website http://kotaku.com/5228209/warcraft-on-an-iphone-but-is-it-coming-to-yours
Partnerships
Vollee has announced partnerships with video game publishers Activision Blizzard, Codemasters, and Encore Software. Their Second Life client was produced in partnership with Linden Lab.
