It has been confused all over the blogosphere and I wanted to make sure I wasn't being too ambiguous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8200358893539431848.post-59103736357132030002008-07-21T21:22:00.000+01:002008-07-21T21:22:00.000+01:00Thanks Chris, I'll have a look!I have also receive...Thanks Chris, I'll have a look!<BR/><BR/>I have also received an email from Dan at Wikia drawing my attention to a blog post on the Wikia blog where Jimmy Wales responds to the Google experiments - <A HREF="http://search.wikia.com/blog/2008/07/17/google-tries-to-copy-wikia-search-but-misses-the-point" REL="nofollow">http://search.wikia.com/blog</A><BR/><BR/>All interesting stuff!Nick Burcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362469077618878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8200358893539431848.post-75314323089540358762008-07-21T17:35:00.000+01:002008-07-21T17:35:00.000+01:00Me.dium recently released a social search engine o...Me.dium recently released a social search engine of their own. It compiles past click streams and searches to produce the best results possible. The more people using it, by downloading one of their sidebars or toolbars, the better the results. <BR/><BR/>Me.dium’s Social Search, which leverages the Yahoo! Search BOSS platform, provides an entirely new level of information on top of traditional search. Me.dium’s Social Search harnesses the activity of the crowds to let you find information that has relevance based on what people are actually surfing right now. <BR/><BR/>Me.dium’s technology lets the inherent activity of real people - not robotic crawlers - determine relevance. Me.dium’s Social Search results show what people are surfing and find interesting, right now. While other search engines base relevance on how content links across pages, Me.dium’s Social Search shows you the most popular news, reviews, pictures and videos that other people are actually looking at in relation to your search term. And as the activity of the people online changes, so do the search results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
