One of the things that could make casual, social Q&A sites even more fun is "multiplayer" features that allow you to interact with groups of more than one person at a time.

Formspring has just added such a feature. The site now lets you pose the same question to more than one friend at a time. For example, I was going to ask my friend Jenna what her favorite restaurant in the city is, but I remembered that Bob and Gordon are also big-time foodies. Instead of having to go to each person's profile individually, I can now ask them all en masse. You'll be able to ask these questions of multiple Formspring users as well as your friends and followers on other social networks, including Facebook, WordPress, Tumblr and Twitter. The only catch: You can't ask anonymously once you start asking multiple people.

Formspring's growth has been nothing short of meteoric lately; in fact, we've been told that this app has just passed the 14 million users mark. Do you use Formspring? TinEye image search reverse.

Cluuz Search. Search BOSS. Time Explorer. Welcome to the Time Explorer, an application designed for analyzing how news changes over time. Time Explorer extends upon current time-based systems in many important ways. First, Time Explorer is designed to help users discover how entities such as people and locations associated with a query change over time.

Second, by searching on time expressions extracted automatically from text, the application allows the user to explore not only how topics evolved the past, but also how they will continue to evolve in the future. Finally, Time Explorer is designed around an intuitive interface that allows users to interact with time and entities in a powerful way. The application is a showcase for the functionality of the LivingKnowledge project. Time Explorer currently works best on Firefox. Back to the future: Yahoo’s Time Explorer is a search engine for the past and future. A Yahoo lab in Barcelona has developed Time Explorer, a new search engine that goes back AND forward in time to see what people have said and predicted will happen on a topic.

Here’s the timeline you get when you search for “China”: Right now, Time Explorer is populated with New York Times articles dating back to 1987, and it certainly is fascinating. Basically the idea is that people say things about the future all the time, such as “by 2035 we’ll have a true Semantic Web,” etc., and what Time Explorer does is index and serve results around the year that NYT writers referenced. So an article written in 1992 about 1992 will show up on the Time Explorer timeline under 1992, but an article written in 1993 about 2011, will show up under 2011. Time Explorer also gives some other interesting data about the year in question. Time Explorer most closely resembles Wolfram Alpha in how it presents its data, and is certainly closer to that site than traditional search engines. Wolfram|Alpha.

HiveMind – Revolutionary Expertise Discovery Engine Enters Close. HiveMind, an automated expertise discovery engine created by Melbourne, Australia, startup BinaryPlex has entered closed beta.

The service aims to help employees find experts within their organisation without relying on those experts, or others, to manually update their profiles. If they can achieve this they have the potential to revolutionize the way knowledge and expertise is shared within businesses of all sizes. Let me explain. Most large (and some small) organisations have some sort of knowledge management tool. These systems, whether they work alone or in tandem with profiling tools, increase the ability of employees to access expertise within the organisation.

What they don’t tend to do, however, is enable employees to identify who has expertise at a given point in time. This is critical as people move on, or change focus, and the person who you thought had expertise may not be the go-to person anymore. That’s where HiveMind comes in. [youtube] powered by.

The Future of Question and Answer Sites. Since the early days of the Internet people have been gathering around common interests and sharing knowledge. The early bulletin board services, Usenet, and message boards provided a great place to get advice form people who were passionate and knowledgeable about any subject imaginable.

Today, there are many places online where you can pose a question. These sites often suffer from two general problems: a lack of experts to give strong, accurate answers, and secondly a general lack of audience scale to help ferret out niche knowledge from the masses. Without enough experts sites can wither away or simply be unfocused. This is the issue that plagues Yahoo! Answers. The site is easy to find and use, but there isn’t a guarantee that you can get a helpful answer, or even any answer at all. Using Facebook Questions users can pose a question to the Facebook community. Just coming out of beta, Quora takes a middle approach. Future Of Facebook”?
