Good morning fellow netizens! I am starting a new series of posts which will cover between 3 to 5 cool things with some Indiana connections that I have come to know one way or another. So here we go…..

How the Web sees you

Well the Indiana connection is a bit tenuous here. I stumbled onto this real cool project at MIT (Personas) through a blog written by Kevin Makice, whom many folks in Central Indiana have become very familiar with. This project shows you how the web see you. What you get is a visual representation of what your digital persona looks like.

Create, Schedule and Send Real Greeting Cards Via the Web With enGreet

enGreet is a cool Indiana based startup and here is what they do in their own words:
“enGreet allows you to find, personalize and mail the perfect greeting card without leaving the house”. I like the idea and especially the scheduling feature – something that forgetful men like me can really appreciate. I am definitely going to take a look and may be even use it this Valentine’s Day.
