- check out www.ask.com
- AskJeeves has evolved into ask...working with Gary Price (a LIBRARIAN...WOW!)...good ready reference tools, natrual language searching, toolbars, fabbo maps and directions (walking and driving)
- google has become more of a media advertising company than a search engine...Google Mars, Google Moon, Google video
- MSN also advertising, search, virtual earth, search result clustering (src), onfolio ("bookmarks on steroids"!), streetview -- race cars etc.
- Yahoo "people mediated" search...tagging, personalization, mindset (slidebar to narrow topic)
- Google and Books "vcr" myopia factor...publishers freaking out aka movie industry and vcr's
- google print library = full text of public domain
- will be adding "Find in a Library" link to OCLC worldcat
- also concept of "giving" the books to the google brain to learn from
- The Dark Side of Personalization:
- convenience vs. confidnetiality
- over time change your search results based on past searches
- "trust, but verify"!
Fascinating things I learned at conferences and workshops...intended for the information of my colleagues and anyone else who might be interested.
