Special 4th of July/Independence Day Logos from Yahoo, Google, Exalead, Dogpile, and Ask.com

Our 4th of July (Independence Day) post is in two parts this year.

First, this post contains screen caps of several special logos found on the home pages of several web engines.

Second, directly below this post, you'll find links to several specialty databases and "fast fact" resources about the day.

Today, special holiday home page logos (we've created screen caps of each page) from:
+ Yahoo
Some animation. Clicking the upper left corner moves from some animated fireworks, to reading Happy 4th of July, to concluding with an image of the crown and torch as seen at the top of the Statue of Liberty. Here's a brief Flash Video. Clicking the logo takes the searcher to a 4th of July/Summer 2007 guide.

+ Google
The second G in Google has been replaced today with a drawing of a Bald Eagle. Clicking the logo runs a search for 4th of July.

+ Exalead
Lots of red, white, and blue and a small image of John Trumbull's painting, "The Declaration of Independence."

+ Dogpile
Some picnicking, barbecue and some fireworks. Clicking the logo runs a search for BBQ.

+ Ask.com (An image of the U.S. flag) is the background image on the Ask home page. A search for 4th of July also returns an Ask Smart Answer with direct links to crafts, recipes, facts and figures, games, etc.

For more info/databases/fast facts, see this ResourceShelf post.

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
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
