It’s a simple tool that allows you to define alerts when new vidoes are uploaded (currently to YouTube only). you specify the channel (music, fun, tech…) and the keyword, and get the alerts to your email inbox.

I got a nice mention at Globes, by the way (hebrew).

It offers almost all the content and services in TripTouch (travel guide, restaurants, events, activities, travelers, utilities, accommodation) and can be used in personalized home page like iGoogle or netvibes. It’s pretty cool, I think ;-)
Check it out here, and tell me what you think…

The idea is to create a web page for travelers during their trip. We have several ideas on the kind of information you would need in your trip. In the last couple of weeks we have started to write a first beta, and it is now online. We have 3 pages, for Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Eilat. All in Israel. You can view them with the following links -

http://www.travelfully.com/Tel_Aviv_Israel
http://www.travelfully.com/Jerusalem_Israel
http://www.travelfully.com/Eilat_Israel

Please note that the design is still not finished (it’s not even started, really), but the main idea of the widgets and some information is already there.

It’s all about web (internet) startups in Israel. Mainly for entrepreneurs, investors and web developers.
It’s a new site, so there’s not much there, but we will be adding more and more content and features.
