I just found this nifty search engine, Omgili is a search engine that searches forum threads. This will come in handy next time I’m looking for help writing a program.

I just got my newest issue of PC Magazine {February 7, 2006 - Vol 25 - No. 2} and thought that John Dvorak’s column entitled Much Ado over Google Book Search {page 66} (which I can’t find an online link to - yet) was very interesting.

Back in October I subscribed to the Google Librarian Newsletter and the first issue has just arrived.
This first issue is one article from a software engineer at Google, but Google promises that it won’t always be that way:
But this newsletter wouldn’t be much of a conversation if it were written solely by folks at Google. [...]

Opinmind is a blog search engine with an interesting twist … it lets you compare opinions. So if you search Microsoft vs. Linux you can see negative & positive blog posts on opposite sides of the screen. Sounds interesting - but for me I’ll stick to Technorati.

I posted a few days about about Google wanting to rule the world … apparently my joke was not unfounded.
Wired Magazine had an article titled Who's Afraid of Google? Everyone that addresses some of the areas in which Google is expanding, such as video, classifieds, telecoms, operating systems, print, productivity programs and ecommerce. What [...]

A blind study is being run by WebmasterBrain to see which search engine provides the most relevant results … I ended up picking MSN for my search, but apparently Google is in the lead. Read about the study & participate here.

Sometimes it seems that way. I love Google, and I love the services they're providing, but sometimes it seems like they're trying to take over everything.
Today I read an excerpt from “The Google Story” which details a project between Craig Venter (who's working on the human genome project) and Google. Do you see where this [...]

I have only one word on my mind … WOW!
I think I've seen this name around, Riya, but I can't remember where … today I found more information out by reading my TechCrunch feed. Riya is a facial recognition search engine … wait stay here … don't run out to test it (like I [...]
