		<description><![CDATA[Metacafe bets on the power of wikis. This is an interesting response to the increasing market dominance of YouTube, and though I hesitate to bringing up splogging, the cynic in me feels that Metacafe&#8217;s move has quite a lot to do with boosting their results in Google.

		<description><![CDATA[Swype&#8217;s a touchscreen typing application which allows the user to slide across the keyboard to form words. The creators (who also invented predictive text) claim that a user can get up to 40 words per minute after a couple of days&#8217; practice.
This slightly ropey video shows Swype in action.
