Network World and its sister sites have produced a seemingly endless number of gift guides (See our Cool Yule Tools gift guide here) and we're far from alone. But I was surprised to see Georgia Tech's College of Computing pump out one of its own, highlighting some of the most clever creations to come from students and faculty this past year.
Among the gems: Courteous.ly, a gmail app that signals how busy you are, and LifeNet, a disaster response coordination app.
