iubo, a start I wrote about in December last year, has launched its public beta. The idea is that you input all your data (contacts, photos, bookmarks, calendar, etc) and then iubo lets you search across all that data to create a useful service. iubo calls this ‘your own private Google’ for your stuff, which you can then tag up and share (if you want). The service was sparse back then, but has improved its interface a lot now its public. But it needs to be noted that iubo is a side project from two university students [update: they are now a registered company and have managed to secure a small amount of funding from Business Gateway]. They are still at university so don’t expect a Google killer just yet. Worth a look however. Here’s their video demo:
