Ms Dewey Outed
Loads of discussion lately about the Ms Dewey Search engine.
You've met her haven't you - that vaguely siren-like search helper who personalizes the search process.
You can meet here here.
Of course we now know that this effort comes from the Microsoft sandbox. Of course you guessed that from the high production values anyway, eh?
Either way, I wonder if OCLC can make a little cash here over the Dewey trademark... or is there a deeper relationship?
Also, the Google experimental search engine, SearchMash is worth a look. It's still in Kindergarten but it shows promise. Reminds me a bit of Exalead.
I find it interesting that both sets of parents hide their parentage.
