Briefs: Tracking Wikipedia's Not-So-Neutral Editors; Yahoo Passes Google In User Satisfaction Index

+ Citysearch Adds MenuPages Content to Site (via ScreenWerk)
Remember when Amazon was scanning menus and making them searchable? Sevice launched and 2002. Here's a screen cap.

+ Tracking Wikipedia's Not-So-Neutral Editors (via Wired Campus)
We're not all that surprised about this post and what the Wikipedia Scanner shows. In this post from last week we review many Wikipedia articles and also talk about how some Wikipedia content can make it in, while other content gets removed or not added in the first place.

+ Yahoo Passes Google In User Satisfaction Index (via Dow Jones)
From the article:

Yahoo Inc. captured the top spot from rival Google Inc. for the first time in the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index report on electronic-business Web sites. Yahoo's customer satisfaction score of 79 on the ACSI's 100-point scale rose almost 4% this year, while Google slipped 3.7% to 78, its second yearly decline in a row. IAC Search & Media property Ask.com*, with a score of 75, posted this year's biggest increase and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL.com the biggest decline, down more than 9% to 67. Microsoft Corp.'s MSN.com, with a 75 score, is up only one point this year.

* Gary is Director of Online Resources at Ask.com

+ Google and Microsoft Look to Change Health Care (via NY Times)

In politics, every serious candidate for the White House has a health care plan. So too in business, where the two leading candidates for Web supremacy, Google and Microsoft, are working up their plans to improve the nation’s health care.

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?
