My involvement with the Stanford federated search tool was multi-faceted. Tags: federated search
Bing Goes The iPhone. Still Great For Porn. Since the dawn of Bing, it’s been exceptionally good at one thing: Finding porn. Its new iPhone app, which launched tonight in the App Store, is no different. By default, the app has a Safe Search setting of “Moderate.” Searching for “porn” this way yields several promising results. However, with just two clicks, any kids can turn off safe search and off they go! The porn results are nothing, if not impressive. I love this for two reasons: 1) The app is rated 4+, yet it’s super simple to gain access to hardcore porn in a few clicks. To be fair, Google’s iPhone app also allows you to search for porn. All that said, the Bing app is actually quite nice. Both images below taken on a search for “porn” with safe search turned off.

Blog » Blog Archive » Search-based applications and business pro The value of any new technology category is often hard to forecast as that technology is born. Certainly when powered aviation initially ‘took-off’ (pun intended), its pioneers, Félix du Temple de la Croix, the Wright brothers and others were a small group of visionaries. These few visionaries believed in the possibility or even the certainty of commercial aviation. Others were less convinced. This scenario for new technologies has repeated itself many times. Search-based applications (SBAs), as a software technology concept, has had a similar reception. As we explore uses for search-based applications, it’s important that we articulate the business value of SBAs for each anticipated use. It’s very likely that in the early days of commercial air travel, there were those who questioned “who needs it?” My point is that search-based applications are a new approach to accelerating and enhancing existing business processes.
