Briefs: Google Announces Q2 Earnings; Ask.com Plans to Release AskEraser for Increased Online Privacy Control; Microsoft Live: Mobile Search App V2 released

+ Google Announces Q2 Earnings

+ Ask.com* Announces AskEraser for More Control of Your Online Privacy
Gary is Director of Online Information Resources at Ask.com

+ Microsoft Live: Mobile Search App V2 released - Improved Navigation, Cache, Movie Searching, GPS, Traffic reporting and more! (via VE Blog)

+ Minor Google News Item of the Day
It's always interesting to see how products are described.

Until recently, here's a screen cap, the Google Products Page described:

+ Google Earth as, "Explore the world from your PC."

and

+ Sketch-Up as, "Create 3-D Models for Google Earth."

In the past couple of days these descriptions have changed as you can see here.

+ The Google Earth description now reads, "Explore the world from your computer."
Remember, Google Earth for the Mac (launched in early 2006) and Linux (released mid-2006) have been around for a while. So, we're sure Mac and Linux users will be happy to be recognized with this small change.

+ The description for SketchUp now reads, "Build 3D models quickly and easily." In other words the Google Earth angle has been removed from the description.

+ Updated Beta Release of AOL Local
Bug fixes and faster load times.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

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).
