Windows Live Mobile Now Offers Web Results In Addition to Local Search Listings

Search Briefs
MSN Windows Live Mobile Site Adds Web Search; Live Mail Beta Now Accessible; Spaces for Mobile (Beta) Enhances Offerings
When MSN relaunched their mobile site last August the main search offering was local search. That has changed. The mobile site (we accessed on a Treo 650) and can be seen here on a non-mobile browser now serves up access to MSN Live Search web results to MSN Mobile users. So, what search options will you currently find?
+ Web Search (Note that each result can be optimized for mobile browsers via a proxy if the user selects the "mobile" link)
+ Local Search with driving directions
+ MSN Spaces Search
+ Improvements to MSN Spaces" Mobile Beta
Windows Live Mobile users can also customize the layout of their page, create personalized stock lists, enter home/work addresess to save time and clicks, add a growing number of alerts (we still find the traffic alert very useful) and more.

Mobile Searching: Google, Yahoo and Many Others
Great to see ResourceShelf fave 4info.net featured in article. Btw, Promptu offers speech recognition search for some mobile devices. In other words, speak your search. Other mobile players include:
+ Yahoo Mobile
+ Smarter.com
+ Synfonic.com
+ UpSnap.com (live audio too including podcasts!)
+ MSN Mobile (several services and expanding)

As the summer rolls on, look for another ResourceShelf initiative, Gary's mobile bookmark collections.
Postscript: Don't forget that cameraphone searching is slowly but surely developing traction.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
