Cool Tech Toys For the Futurist Kid
Something is coming this Fall that is part old school and part futurist. It is in a category of its own and redefining what a toy can do. In just two short years, Team Snorble has imagined a toy that is a teacher, a guide and a friend. Many parents know that sleep training is a big part of the baby to toddler development. We all know that when a child melts down with a tantrum, it often stems from being hungry, being tired or overstimulated.
Snorble is an intelligent companion that can help your child fall asleep and stay asleep. It is a great tool for parents who want to ensure their children are getting enough sleep. It can also help parents monitor their child’s sleep and breathing patterns. With Snorble, you can be sure your child is getting the rest they need.

Looking for Something?
DoAT is a new iPhone app that promises to deliver a different kind of search experience. The app lets you personalize your search, allowing you to find content the way you want to find it.
I downloaded the app to check it out…and I’d like to call it a 3D search experience. Instead of turning up a list of search results, it gives you a list of categories, allowing you to select the direction you want to go.
For example, in my search of “Hurricane Irene” I could choose to see results in social media, reference, weather, etc. So, if I wanted to see the latest buzz on the impending storm I would select “social.” Then I can swipe through search results from various social media mobile apps: Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare and so on. And there’s no need to actually download any of the apps.
This app definitely makes is easier to customize your results and get exactly what you’re looking for. The “swipe” interface is unique, practical, and fun to work with. Also, there’s a sense of discovery as you are introduced to sites you may not have used before.
Tip: Get the app at the App Store while it’s still free!
