Some Links - 2010/10/31

Some links to interesting projects and products I came across recently:

• Google Refine .. A tool for cleaning up raw data, making it consistent, linking it to data registries, augmenting it with more data from other data sources, transforming it into the required format for other tools to consume .. Watch the screencasts!
• FluidDB .. An interesting new database that provides an easy way to let different applications or users annotate/tag the same underlying (social) objects.
• Efene .. A programming language with C-like syntax that runs on the Erlang platform.
• timemap.js .. a Javascript library to help use Google Maps with a SIMILE timeline.
