Yahoo Will Be a Part of Web-Only Presidential Debate; Mobile GMaps Asked to Remove Google Content; Let's Search for Video

+ Yahoo to host US presidential debate online in September (via IndianTelevision.com)
The YouTube/CNN Debate offered questions from YouTube users. This debate will be available only on the web and questions from viewers will be asked in real-time. It's being produced by the Huffington Post, Yahoo, Slate. More in this WashingtonPost blog item.

+ Mobile GMaps no longer serving Google Maps (via GISUser)
Mobile GMaps is a third-party tool, "that allows the user to Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local (MSN Virtual Earth), Ask.com*, Open Street Map and other sources." More from MobileGMaps about the removal of Google Maps including the letter from the Google Enforcement team here. More from Ogle Earth.
Note from Gary*: If you use Ask Mobile and want to view maps and aerial imagery, no special downloads or tools are required. Here's an example (you can also check it out a regular browser) of a map and aerial map of Wrigley Field in Chicago.

+ A New Yahoo Video in the Works
We think it's important to point out that YouTube and Yahoo are far from the only web sites allowing users to host, share, annotate, etc. video. As Phil Harvey illustrates in this post, there are numerous services out there. We also noted last week that Blinkx just passed the 14 Million Hours of Content and More than 200 Media Partnerships.

Some of our favorite video searching resources (free and fee-based) are listed here.

* Gary is Director of Online Info Resources at Ask.com

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).
