The Norwegian media company Schibsted has decided to close down its Sesam search site.
Sesam was launched in 2005 as a Nordic competitor to Google, with both Norwegian and Swedish sites.
It was originally a regular web search engine powered by Fast.
Last year, however, Schibsted realized that there was no way they could compete with Google in this field, and they turned Sesam into a yellow pages kind of search tool focusing on company, people and map search.
It is clear that the Norwegian version of Sesam will be closed down, but most likely also the Swedish version
100 of 110 Norwegian Sesam employees will lose their job, most of them getting severance packages in the process.
The search functionality of Sesam will now be included in the Norwegian version of Craigslist: Finn.no. In many ways this is more a matter of focusing the marketing on one brand in Norway (Finn) [...]

We are all in a grip of intense twitter-mania. Here is a moment of reflection.
The New Scientist reports on the death of the newspaper Rocky Mountain News. The staff chronicled its final staff meeting and last hours on Twitter:
This sparked a flurry of correspondence on the US National Association of Science Writers mailing list, the New Scientist reports.
Jim Hathaway, a science writer for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, observed, within Twitter’s 140 characters limit:
‘This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a twitter.’
After this twist on T. S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men, the New Scientist concludes, there didn’t seem to be anything further to say.
And now, over to this week’s search engine news.

Google China has recently released an experimental version of Google Toolbar that allows the toolbar to translate [...]

If, like us, you travel a lot, you know that the quality of the airline and the services and amenities of the airports make a huge difference. In fact, these are among the things that distinguish a good journey from a bad one. But making the right choice is not easy. After all, you don’t want to gather first hand experiences with all the bad airlines and airports before you learn to avoid them.
Luckily, there are people out there that gather these kinds of experiences and use them to review and rank airlines and airports. Per has written a post on some of the best online search sites for this kind of information. It is published in the travel blog of our friend Tor Johnsen, Enjoy Food & Travel: The best airport and airliner review sites.

LeapFish is a relatively new metasearch engine with a click-free search interface that delivers search results as you type: instantaneous results as each character of a search term is entered. You don’t need to click the search button, then wait and click it again after you have refined your search.
The innovative interface saves time by eliminating clicks and keystrokes. Search results appear — quickly — as you type. This way it is easy to modify search characters and get results on-the-fly.

LeapFish searches Google, Yahoo, MSN, Yahoo Answers, Ebay, YouTube, social media sites and blogs. Before you start, you choose whether to search Google, Yahoo or MSN (Windows Live). The main search results will reflect this choice: web results first, then a separate box of blog results.
In the right column, LeapFish presents other search results in boxes they call widgets: news, videos, images, answers, shopping and more, depending on the [...]

Jinni is nothing like IMDB. You don’t use it to find facts about movies and actors, you use it to find movies to watch — movies that are right for your mood and your taste.
The Jinni team calls their product a semantic discovery engine for movies and TV shows. What does that mean? I searched by entering my mood (rough, humorous), the kind of plot I’m interested in (police investigation) and a period (80s). Jinni recommended movies like 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon and Red heat.
This made me remember how much I enjoyed Nick Nolte in 48 Hours and I select this movie. Now I get several options: I can add a review, add it to my favorites, add it to my wish list or watch it right away. If I want to watch it, I cat choose between several ways to rent it or stream it, most ow which [...]

With all the vast amounts of information available on the web, it is becoming more and more difficult to sort through and find what you are looking for. RSS significantly lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. RSS has the unique ability to compile information and filter it, so you only see unique and relevant content. The information superhighway has become packed with content, and those familiar with technology are using RSS to filter the content, allowing them to drill down and access only the content they want, without having to wade through all the noise.

Here are some recent search engine stories we have found interesting.
let’s start with the prolific Matt Cutts of Goolge. It does help a little bit to have your keyword in your URL when ranking in Google, he says in this video:

What does this mean for your SEO efforts? Well, we don’t lose our sleep over the fact that Pandia is at pandia.com instead of search-engine-seomething-or-the-other.com. After all, Google, Yahoo, Amazon do the same for sensible branding reasons.
We have set up our publishing tool to include keywords in the file names, though!
And in other news:

Social media is the Internet’s version of viral messaging and marketing. Social media can be used to disseminate news or information, as well as to attract attention. There are a wide variety of social media channels and networks available.
Social networks and social media websites are community-driven websites that allow visitors to submit items of interest. Visitors also decide what items appeal to them by voting or tagging; the more popular an item is determined to be by the visitors, the more exposure the item is given.

With the enormous amounts of information and the appalling signal to noise ratio on Twitter, good search tools are always welcome. How else would we get at the gems? Tweetzi is a Twitter search engine, developed by Craig Hughes, that is great for monitoring trends and following breaking news.
Tweetzi is a deceptively simple search tool: A start page that is googlesqe in its simplicity and uncluttered search results displaying tweets in real time. But the simple design contains some advanced features.
Real time Twitter search
Unlike any other real time Twitter search engine I have laid eyes on, Tweetzi lets you pause the stream of tweets. The pause/play button is on the right hand above the search results.
This is a very convenient feature if you are following breaking news: Pause search results when you find a tweet that you want to follow up on, then press play and the tweets [...]
