Who’s using the Search Bar anyway?
Posted on Thursday, February 16th, 2006
While browsing to Yahoo! this bar on top struck me. Click to enlarge:
Apparently Yahoo! is promoting the Search Bar, which is standard issue in Firefox. Guess they want us to change the default Google setting.
This in turn made me think of the times I used that Search Bar. Probably once, the first time […]

Other december 9 surprises
Posted on Saturday, December 10th, 2005
Besides the release leakage of GE for Mac.
Del.icio.us take-over
Like Yahoo! taking hold of del.icio.us. Just as LookSmart did with Furl.
Update: The take-over sounds a little strange to me as Yahoo! was working on it’s own del.icio.us/Furl with their My Web 2.0 BETA. Which can save ‘personal’ pages and tag them. We’ll see where this goes…
Portable […]

Yahoo! Local Maps Beta
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
Yahoo! Maps is offering a Beta version which is based on Flash! - shock & horror - What were they thinking?
I do like it. It’s snappy, looks good and simply works. (hearing that MS?) Go see the Yahoo! Maps Beta for yourself.
For instance check out the ubiquitous “Pizza in Redmond” sample. Hover […]

Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
Here’s a good idea:
An open message to Microsoft and Yahoo, and major implementors of search engines: Please clone the Google API, without the limits.

Windows Live Beta. Don’t bother…
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
As the rest of the world is doing right now, I was going to drop my two cents on the new Windows Live Beta. But in this context Beta means Broken. Severely! It doesn’t work in Firefox, but worse, it also borks in IE.
If you ask me, it’s a rush job. Because the hotshots already […]

Yahoo! Site Explorer Beta
Posted on Friday, September 30th, 2005
Site Explorer Beta is open for public:
Why is this search different?
Site Explorer allows you to explore all the web pages indexed by Yahoo! Search. View the most popular pages from any site, dive into a comprehensive site map, and find pages that link to that site or any page.
Now if someone can explain me how […]

Just a thought.
Posted on Wednesday, August 24th, 2005
The present: Most people come to you via a search engine (probably through Google, although Yahoo! is on the return). Some people come via Technorati, Bloglines or other RSS feed engine. And some are family, friends, co-workers, affiliates, … the people you meet in real life. All 6 of them.
Given the state of […]

Corporate Egosurfing, or how to get market info for free.
Posted on Sunday, June 12th, 2005
Keeping track on what is being said in the media is somewhat of a luxury for big companies. They can afford to allocate people and time in special departments (PR, Communications, …) to track the news, journals, internet, measure campaign effectiveness, etc. Smaller family run companies don’t have that kind of resources. Their time is […]
