So Many Ways to Say A9, Amazon.com's Web Engine

It has been nearly two years since Amazon.com launched their A9 web engine. Lots of talk and forecasts when the site live but since then it has become a minor (some might even say less) part of the web search scene. Even the very cool A9's street-level (aka BlockView) imagery database (another much-discussed service at launch) hasn't been updated with new locations in a LONG time (over a year?). The last big news from A9 came in May when MSN Live Web Search became the default search engine replacing Google.

Well the point of this post isn't to discuss A9 and Amazon's involvement in search (we can save that for later) but to have some fun and simply point out a list that shows the 27 domains and spellings Amazon.com has registered to get users to their site. Our favorites? Numbers 19, 20 and 21.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
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?
