Hitlantis Rethinks Music Discovery With ‘Sea of Bubbles’ | Underwire | Wired.com
Finnish entrepreneur Timo Poijärvi wants to change the way we discover music with Hitlantis — a visually impressive rethink of the traditional box of search results. Poijärvi complains that using a search box to find what you want on a music site is like shouting through the letterbox of a record shop. He wants to let people more effectively browse around for what they want, and at the same time build the world’s biggest music community. “And I’m gonna do it,” he says quietly. Hitlantis arranges its catalog as a huge circle of bubbles, with each bubble representing a band.
The first component reflects the overall trustworthiness of the site: Can it be trusted? Is it safe to use? Does it deliver what it promises? A poor rating may indicate Internet scams, identity theft risks, credit card fraud, phishing, viruses, adware or spyware. A rating of "unsatisfactory" indicates that the site may contain annoying advertisements, excessive pop-ups or content that makes your browser crash.

NetSeer’s approach to contextual analysis mirrors the way the human brain parses information to derive meaning. Our technology crawls the web extracting concepts at the page level, analyzing their interrelationships in real time. It does so by locating those concepts and their groupings on our NetSeer Concept Mapper, the first three-dimensional representation of all known concepts that form the basis of human thought.

Confronted with evidence of widespread corruption in Mexico, top Wal-Mart executives focused more on damage control than on rooting out wrongdoing, an examination by The New York Times found.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Spam has hit the Kindle, clogging the online bookstore of the top-selling eReader with material that is far from being book worthy and threatening to undermine Amazon.com Inc's publishing foray. Thousands of digital books, called ebooks, are being published through Amazon's self-publishing system each month. Many are not written in the traditional sense. Instead, they are built using something known as Private Label Rights, or PLR content, which is information that can be bought very cheaply online then reformatted into a digital book.

Collaborative filtering is the process of predicting ratings based on a database of ratings from various users. It is widely applicable to e-Commerce, e-Learning, and so on. Currently, programmers who want to use collaborative filtering have to read the literature and implement their own algorithms. More often than not, programmers probably design their own algorithms and they will generally produce suboptimal algorithms. We want to build a foundation of already tested algorithms and documented that can be used in a wide range of contexts from research to applications. The guiding principle is that the design should be thin.
