From Google Mobile: Get Movie Info, Watch Previews on Your Smartphone; Bing and Yahoo Offers Similar Services

We posted the other day about Google's new "enhanced" movie listings.

Now, many of those features are available for mobile users. In a post titled, "Get movie trailers and more with Google Search for mobile," you'll read about:

+ Accessing the service by going to google.com (on your iPhone, Palm WebOS, or Android) and do a search for movies and then tap on the more movies link.

+ "Play trailers right on your phone, ratings and categories, movie posters, upcoming showtimes, and a concise list of the nearest theaters and their distances from you."

+ The movie info is available in English in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

You can find showtimes, read a brief overview, and view clips from the film online. You can also access movie info by searching the word "movies" in the main Bing Mobile search box.

They also offer an overview as well as a link to view the trailer.

See Also: For the iPhone Users Out There, Check out "Now Playing."
It's loaded with useful info (it's a reference desk) of current film info . It's also a free app. Definitely worth your time.

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.

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?
