This week's tech watch brings news of an interactive new feature added to Google signature application, as well as a slew of entertaining new websites.

• Industry professionals will want to check out BitGravity.com, a company that's working on a way to stream multiple high-definition streams at once. Who knows if this technology will become available for adult content, but the possibilities for it are intriguing.

Twilio.com offers a variety of services for telephone entrepreneurs, including some interesting new technology in the area of voice-recognition.

LeapFish.com is positioning itself as more cannon fodder for Google.

• Enterprising fans of exotic dancing have concocted this rickshaw-dance pole combo.

• Although this has nothing to do with technology, two men sneaked up to the top of Burj Dubai and BASE-jumped off of it. The video must be seen to be believed.
