Microsoft puts final touches on Kumo search engine

By Justin Mann, TechSpot.com

Microsoft has failed to re-imagine search numerous times over the past few years, much to their dismay. Neither MSN.com nor Microsoft’s Live Search have managed to steal any considerable share away from Google, no matter how much money it is thrown at them, with people still overwhelmingly preferring the simple Google search page to the service-decorated Microsoft alternatives. 

Redmond isn’t done for, though, and soon will be unveiling their new Kumo search engine, which has recently gone under internal testing. While nothing has been formally announced yet, rumors indicate that Kumo will be launched in just about a month. 

Some details have been leaked regarding what the new service will offer, such as expanded searches that pull up relevant information about a search, as opposed to just sites containing the queried terms. With a huge ad campaign ready to launch and a new search engine ready to roll, Microsoft will try to take both Yahoo and Google’s spots. Will they be able to do either? Perhaps Yahoo, but when it comes to innovation, I think Google is still a step ahead of Microsoft in the web services department.

TinEye: the ‘go to’ search engine for images

TinEye fan Jeff left us a quick note to let us know that he spied TinEye in action over on Digg.  The post in question - Awesome Spaghetti Junction, what city is this? - included the image below and the simple question:

What city is this?

How can you find out more about an image such as this one when the image is all you have? Simple. Use TinEye.com. TinEye is the only search engine able to find your exact image in over a billion images crawled from the web.

Digg user ka9dgx used TinEye to find the image in a National Geographic Traveler story about Bangkok, Thailand.   TinEye also located the originalimage titled “The Veins of Bangkok” on Flickr, just one of the 26 different instances of this image found on the web.

And who took this shot? Trey Ratcliff, a part-time photographer that I first learned about back in August when I wrote this post about Copyright and Creative Commons.  You can see more of Trey’s amazing images by visiting his blog Stuck in Customs.

New search engine launched to find radio ads

New York—A new search engine service allows radio listeners to relocate online radio ads by searching for keywords or product information, as well as stations, dial positions and locations.

RadioAds.com said the service will help radio advertisers maximize their investments, since interested listeners may often want to re-listen to an ad and dig further into its details.

RadioAds.com, a free service to advertisers who register, will be available for listener searching beginning Nov. 27, the company said. It will be accessible from computer Web browsers and Web-enabled mobile devices.

Reports to advertisers include response rates and keyword search tracking that shows what words listeners use to find ads.
