Wolfram|Alpha launch note

WolframAlpha

I believe Wolfram|Alpha launched via webinar last night (GMT speaking). Not being a search engine geek I thought I’d just quote the tweet from CannonGod:

CannonGod Wolfram|Alpha Feedback: ‘No Result’ page needs to lead to similar queries/simple results. Users are getting frustrated hitting a brick wall.

Just for fun then I tried looking up data on medical imaging; the results page returned a message to say it was under investigation, and gave the option to leave my email to register my interest: so not so bad a verdict from me!



A neat semantic web tool with Calais

Just heard of this tool from Thomson Reuters, which works on Drupal for one thing which is interesting:

Calais: Connect. Everything.

We want to make all the world’s content more accessible, interoperable and valuable. Some call it Web 2.0, Web 3.0, the Semantic Web or the Giant Global Graph – we call our piece of it Calais.

Calais is a rapidly growing toolkit of capabilities that allow you to readily incorporate state-of-the-art semantic functionality within your blog, content management system, website or application.
