Search Engine : Otavo

Due Credit: Search Engine Journal
Intention is a very fuzzy word. To say that a machine can guess the intention of the searcher is perhaps a prized product of Artificial Intelligence. Before you go about wondering if AI has indeed reached these ends, refrain.

In this case, the Otavo search engine makes a quest out of the search queries that a user searches on. Adding another socializing angle to search, the engine makes sharing and tracking of search results possible so that in course of time the results refined by a set of users makes for lot more relevance.


A twist to social searching and definitely worth a try.

Internet Censorship in Australia

Due Credit: TechRepublic
The Australian Government is taking a strict stance on curbing inappropriate content on the web but there are several doubts on whether the move is going to serve its end purpose.

On one hand we have the real need to prevent kids from being exposed to lot of explicit content online. On the other hand we are also opposed to government curb on information flow. The real big question is whether it will set a precedent for more blocking.

What is your opinion on the emerging scenario?

Visual search on Like.com

Due Credit: SearchEngineJournal
If searching for keywords is based on the fact that the keywords in a text are indexed then it only follows logically that searching for an image should also take into consideration the characteristics in the image.

Unfortunately the world of image search is not so simple. Most of the image search engines today rely on meta-data for image files i.e. on the information that the person uploading the image mentions in the image name, description, tags etc. It does make sense to have that approach since why would you ever want to fill in wrong information for something you want others to find? But it is a fact that when left to the discretion of the user, exact data or perfect classifications are never undertaken sincerely
