Search has gone mobile. Smart phones with large screens, decent keyboards, and wifi connection finally makes it fun to surf the web from a hand held device. I have tested iPhone web search applications and reviewed our five favorites.
My very first mobile phone back in 2001 promised fun and easy web access. The slow WAP connection and the tiny screen ensured that I went online only once from that phone.
And this experience has repeated itself with every mobile I have owned phone since (a total of 7). Now, finally, the time has come. On the iPhone it’s fun to surf the web.
But still, the browser window is rather small. Entering a query and browsing the search results in Safari is cumbersome. Web search apps make this easier and many of them integrate multiple search engines and services.
Finding the top 5 iPhone search apps was not easy. Searching [...]

True Knowledge is a semantic search engine currently in closed beta. We have some invites to spare, so if you want to have a look for yourself, send us an email.
True Knowledge is not a regular search engine. It answers questions based on an index of 129,498,414 facts about 5,112,422 things. An example of how True Knowledge works is the question “Is the koala bear a bear?”. The answer to this question is no. Here is how True Knowledge reasoned to understand the question and provide the answer:
“Is an unspecified member of koala (a thickset arboreal marsupial herbivore native to Australia) a bear (any of various usually omnivorous mammals of the family Ursidae that have a shaggy coat and a short tail and walk with the entire lower surface of the foot touching the ground)?”

When you use True Knowledge, you also get a list of the assumptions behind the conclusion. [...]

The term podcast was initially used to reference an RSS feed that contained audio files in the items enclosure field. The meaning of podcasting has since expanded, and now refers to RSS feeds that contain all types of media, including audio and video, in the items enclosure field. For the non-technical folks, podcasting is simply a means of syndicating and distributing rich-media files via the Internet. The content contained in a podcast can vary significantly, from a song, to a educational lecture, to a political debate, to just about anything else. One great thing about podcasting is the wide variety of content formats it can contain. And unlike radio or television broadcasts, the recipient can listen or view at their leisure, choosing for themselves when and where they wish to listen or view a podcast.

Google owns Blogger is one of the best online blog services available. Blogger is not very search engine friendly, though, and the Blogger team even managed to block Google’s search engine crawlers from indexing some of the Blogger blogs.
Pandia takes a look at the Blogger/Google relationship and what a blogger can do to make a Blogger blog succeed in the search engines.
When size hinders learning and collaboration
Running a huge multinational company is hard. You may gather the best talent in the world, but there is always a limit to how many people any person can interact with. Because of this, there will be instances when independent business units do not communicate, even when needed.
Yahoo! is a company known for its “silo mentality”, where institutional barriers and struggles for power and money hinder active cross pollination of ideas.
Google has been known to be acutely aware of the problem and [...]

Among the headlines this week, the ones about Atlantis clearly stands out. Atlantis is, as most of you will know, the sunken country mentioned by the philosopher Plato.
Most likely he referred to the ancient Minoan civilization on Thera/Santorini, but that has not stopped people from looking where Plato said it would be, in the ocean named after the mythic island.
And now comes Google Earth to the rescue. Google’s famous map and satellite imagery software now includes scans of the ocean floor.
For the first (and probably last) time we will include a link to Britain’s infamous Sun newspaper, which apparently was the first to run the story.
Aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford has studied the ocean floor off the Canary Island using Google Earth and found a pattern that reminds you of a city grid. Google says, however, the undersea grid lines are data artifacts rather than sunken streets. [...]

The latest issue of Website Magazine presents a top 50 list of social media resources, that is the most visited social web sites out there.
Increasingly, people use social media sites to find information online. Instead of using the regular search engines, which search huge indexes of all kind of info, it makes sense to go to YouTube to find videos and to LinkedIn to find business connections.
The list is based on web statistics gathered by Ranking.com.

YouTube (Video sharing)
MySpace (Social networking)
Facebook (Social networking)
Beebo (Video and social networking)
Black Planet (Black online community)

Tagged (Social networking)
Imeem (Social network for sharing music, video and photos)
Hi5 (Social networking)

“Semantic” is a word with a magic ring to it in search engine circles. The way it’s hyped makes you suspect it is the second coming of search. Hypes make me skeptical and I have been biding my time, waiting for the technology to mature. Now the time has come and I’m glad to present the top 5 semantic search engines.
What is semantic search?
A semantics searc engine attempts to make sense of search results based on context. It automatically identifies the concepts structuring the texts. For instance, if you search for “election” a semantic search engine might retrieve documents containing the words “vote”, “campaigning” and “ballot”, even if the word “election” is not found in the source document.
An important part of this process is disambiguation, both of the queries and of the content on the web. What this means is that the search engine — through natural language processing — [...]
