Cool tool for history buffs

July 15th, 2011 No comments

The Washington Post had an article in “The Buzz” on a neat new site that shows/annotates pictures at different locations at different points in time.  It’s called HistoryPin, and it’s a collaboration between Google and a UK based website.  Check it out.

Google releases data visualization challenge

March 7th, 2011 No comments

From Infosthetics:
The latest contestant in this search for the best visualization
designer (or should I say, the next employee?) is Google, who,
together with Eyebeam, just announced their profound interest in both
federal tax numbers as well as interactive bubble graphs

Can you find what you are looking for?

February 14th, 2011 No comments

TechCrunch had a good article about search – Search Still Sucks – so the name speaks for itself.   It’s an interesting piece, but I also found some good sites that I didn’t know about before.

Travel Advice – http://www.gogobot.com/ (looks better than tripadvisor but may not have reached the user breaking point)

Gadget Reviews – http://gdgt.com/

General Search – http://blekko.com/
