I’m foxy and I’m all fire

Topics:

Reviews of the new Mozilla 1.5 Open Source Browser have been generally good. With live bookmarks, somewhat alike to the google reader function of automatic updating, Firefox uses RSS feeds to be your one stop to everything you could ever need webpage wise. Moreover it’s Clear Private Data button allows you to clear your history with just one click of a button, improving privacy options, especially for shared computers, if you remember to use it. It seems that with every browser and web offering, all the functionality is moving away from the toolbar to the page itself and the key seems to be simplicity and a convenient and easy to follow user interface. I’m looking forward, however, to the release of IE7…it’s coming…

Ho Ho Ho How to Search?

Topics:

So in class on thrusday we happend to cover how search engines search. Or we hypothosized. I happen to be reading a NY Times article about an alternative, when the algorithums, keywords, relevance, links, and arrows fail you.

One such solution is Google Answers, answering questions for people who have been let down by wonderful search engines that we use. Any sort of questions, doesn’t matter. You ask the questions, set the price you are willing to pay, $200 max, and wait for a willing expert to skim through the questions and select yours from the pot. The experts get a 75% commission for answering, researching, or find some sort of solution to your horribly difficult question.

Another option is Ingenio.com, where instead of asking questions. You pick a expert and send a query and await a call back. Each expert has per minute call rates and they will spend as much time as you need, and just charge you in the end.

And finally for the frugal, Wondir.com, is a no charge site, where anyone can respond, but people who answer can get tipped if they provide well and not only that they are able to enter contests to win cool things, like…tote bags…my personal favorite.

So here we have it. People trying to move past search engines and instead of organizing the web, we now just pay others to search through the mass for us. As always, remember to tip well.
