Cuando se supone que debería aumentar su market share, no hace más que a href="http://blog.compete.com/2007/03/07/search-market-share-msn-live-google-yahoo-ask-aol/"perder participación/a. Y aunque a href="http://www.genbeta.com/2008/07/25-correo-de-ballmer-a-sus-empleados-devela-la-estrategia-a-futuro-de-microsoft"Ballmer se empeñe en decir/a que #8220;emcon esfuerzo y perseverancia le terminarán ganando a Google/em#8221;, todos sabemos que a la velocidad con la que Microsoft avanza con su motor de búsqueda pueden pasar décadas y van a seguir estando muy atrás de la empresa de Sergey Brin./p pEs por ello que en Redmond están buscando vías para hacer que su buscador se diferencie de Yahoo y Google. Una de esas vías es la strongbúsqueda semántica/strong que están incorporando luego de haber aplicado la técnica de eminnovación por adquisición/em a href="http://www.error500.net/articulo/powerset-en-live-search"comprando a Powerset hace unos meses/a. La otra es intentar strongmejorar la relevancia de sus resultados mediante la funciones sociales/strong, como las que incorporan a href="http://www.genbeta.com/2007/05/31-mahalo-motor-de-busquedas-humano-de-jason-calacanis"Mahalo /ao a href="http://www.genbeta.com/2008/01/08-primer-asalto-a-wikia-search"Wikia Search/a. Y eso es en lo que Microsoft esta incursionando con strongU Rank/strong, un buscador experimental desarrollado por Microsoft Research y que se basa en Live Search, pero que le permite a la gente strongpersonalizar completamente las listas de resultados/strong que se devuelven con determinadas palabras clave./pa name="more"/a/p pU Rank nos permite ordenar los resultados mediante un sencillo emdrag#38;drop/em, eliminar los ítems que creamos que no son relevantes, y agregar notas que veremos cuando volvamos a realizar la misma búsqueda. Podemos agregar amigos y compartir con ellos las modificaciones que hagamos a los resultados. U Rank también nos sugerirá empersonas que podríamos conocer/em en base a los contactos que ya hemos agregado (al estilo Facebook). /p pimg id="image47915" src="http://img.genbeta.com/2008/10/AgregandoVideosUrank.jpg" class="centro" alt="Agregando contenido multimedia a la lista de resultados de U Rank" //p pLa personalización de los resultados no se queda en poder alterar el orden de los elementos, sino que también se strongnos permite agregar sitios que no aparezcan en la lista de resultados de Live Search/strong. Para ello contamos con un panel lateral, en el que podemos realizar una búsqueda secundaria y luego arrastrar resultados hacia la búsqueda principal. También podemos arrastrar elementos multimedia como imágenes y vídeos, para así terminar con una lista que se adecue totalmente a lo que emnosotros /empensamos que es relevante./p pSin embargo, el experimento U Rank se diferencia de Mahalo en que, mientras este último apuesta por una ordenación de resultados basada en seres humanos, el proyecto de Microsoft sigue considerando a un algoritmos como la base de la búsqueda. No se plantea la idea de tener a un grupo de personas ordenando los ítems según su relevancia, simplemente se le da la oportunidad a los usuarios de que personalicen la página de resultados. Luego, la próxima vez que realicen esa misma búsqueda, se encontrarán con la lista de resultados que ellos han ordenado, en lugar de la que sugiere el algoritmo de Live Search. /p pEstas modificaciones no afectan a emtodos /emlos usuarios de U Rank, sino simplemente a nuestra red de contactos. No es como Wikia Search en donde, si muchas personas votan porque un resultado debe tener una posición superior, esto afecta los resultados de todos quienes usen Wikia. /p pimg id="image47914" src="http://img.genbeta.com/2008/10/explore-friends.jpg" class="centro" alt="Nube de tags de busquedas de amigos en U Rank" //p pU Rank es entonces una herramienta diseñada para las strongbúsquedas colaboritivas/strong. Por defecto esta activada una opción que nos permite strongver las modificaciones que han realizado nuestros amigos/strong, y así, cada vez que realicemos una búsqueda no veremos una página de resultados normal, sino una en que nuestros contactos (con los que supuestamente compartimos intereses) han ordenado y organizado los elementos. También se nos permite strongdejar notas/strong en algunos items, y de esta manera poder entablar discusiones. Por ejemplo, hacemos una búsqueda del tipo #8220;emRestaurantes en Bogotá/em#8221;, y entre varias personas ordenamos los resultados de acuerdo a cuál creemos que es el más conveniente para salir a comer el fin de semana./p pNuestros amigos pueden ver el historial de búsquedas que hemos modificado, así como una nube de tags que muestra cuales son las palabras claves por las que más hemos consultado. Nosotros disponemos de un control bastante granular sobre este historial, pudiendo eliminar algunos elementos que no queramos que vean nuestros amigos. Esta información se usa, además, para strongsugerirnos búsquedas en base a la actividad de nuestros contactos/strong. Abajo de la sección de #8220;búsquedas relacionadas#8221;, a la derecha, aparecerá un cuadro llamado #8220;Randomly from your friends#8221; en el que veremos palabras clave que ellos hayan ingresado y que se relacionen con nuestra búsqueda actual./p pEn lo personal pienso que strongel enfoque que propone Microsoft con este experimento es muy acertado/strong. Porque lo que es relevante para mí, o para la gente con la que comparto intereses no tiene para que serlo para todo el mundo. Al limitar la #8220;personalización social#8221; solo a nuestra red de contactos es posible lograr que los resultados obtenidos sean realmente acorde a nuestras necesidades. No es del todo seguro que Microsoft vaya a incorporar esta tecnología en Live Search algún día, pero si así lo hiciera no cabe duda que sería una emfeature /emmuy interesante./p pVía | a href="http://liveside.net/main/archive/2008/10/09/new-from-ms-research-urank-search-gets-organized.aspx"LiveSide/abr / Enlace |a href="http://urank.viveri.com/" U Rank/abr / Más información | a href="http://cid-8d4d7ef470f87a54.spaces.live.com/blog/"Blog oficial de U Rank/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.weblogssl.com/~f/genbeta?a=ZCK261DC"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/genbeta?d=43" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.weblogssl.com/~f/genbeta?a=MrK5Kh6y"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/genbeta?d=151" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.weblogssl.com/~f/genbeta?a=6HLZVx0S"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/genbeta?d=181" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.weblogssl.com/~f/genbeta?a=xvWqVd9t"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/genbeta?d=596" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.weblogssl.com/~f/genbeta?a=tAgVSdm1"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/genbeta?d=153" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/genbeta/~4/L_sQ3_b6onQ" height="1" width="1"/

T-Mobile sold right out of its original allotment of G1 pre-orders quick, fast and in a hurry, and even the second round has been claimed in a flash. What's it all mean? It means that someone at T-Mobile and Google are sitting in a fancy restaurant in France sipping on the good stuff, and it also means that 1.5 million G1s have already been reserved for eager early adopters. In addition to that, another couple of million are all set to take the retail scene by storm later this month.

The service hasn't been experiencing any of its previous turbulence and has begun to shed its spotty reputation for service uptime. While the site's reliability has improved, one functionality has remained on the "things that are broken on Twitter" list: IM functionality.

However,/p pemblockquote"Based on our analysis, the cost-to-benefit for IM for the most users is not as high as some other things--so it will be a while before we tackle it.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers at the University of Maryland are developing a robot able to detect and destroy breast cancer cells in a single session. After a tumor is located on an MRI, the robot will perform a biopsy of the breast while the patient is inside the scanner. 'If the biopsy displays cancerous cells, the robot will then insert a probe into the breast until it reaches the tumor. The probe will then burn the cancer cells until they are destroyed.' This looks great, but the researchers have only built a prototype. After they refine this robot, they'll need to go through clinical trials and obtain FDA approval. So this is not a robot that will appear on the medical market before several years."pa href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/12/0254200amp;from=rss"img src="http://hardware.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/10/12/0254200"/a/ppa href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/12/0254200amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/MZiFPdqQktMjO9NmhUDF56zr8mE/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/MZiFPdqQktMjO9NmhUDF56zr8mE/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotHardware/~4/dvPFTAfyOE4" height="1" width="1"/

img class=face src=http://planet.ubuntu.com/heads/emmajane.png alt= pExplaining open source is sometimes a little tricky. (Only sometimes though. Honest.) Depending on who I'm talking to I'll explain that working on an open source project is a little bit like volunteering to sing with the church choir. Even if the person isn't religious, they can usually appreciate the beauty of a group that sings in unison. They also understand the more the choir practices together, the better they sound. On more than one occasion this explanation has been the quot;ahaquot; moment that snaps my life and my business ethics into focus for a friend or a client. The analogy doesn't, however, work when trying to explain crowd sourcing./p pI am working on a new project that will offer (free) audio interviews with community quot;elders.quot; The audio interviews will have transcripts and will need to be translated into multiple languages. I've convinced the project lead to turn to the internets and use crowd sourcing to make these translations happen. On the one hand they may not be perfect, and they may not all happen instantly, on the other hand I think it would be an amazing school project for someone that is learning a second language...to translate and part of the audio interview and to help spread the cultural knowledge from one community to another./p pThe project lead is skeptical about this whole quot;people will work for freequot; thing. She's asked me to find some more reading material on crowdsourcing and gift economies to get a better understanding of what it's all about (and why we do it and why it makes perfect business sense). I have to admit that I know it works more based on my gut than because of specific research. I've found the following articles with a quick google search. Do you know of more? Please leave your suggestions in the comments!/p ul lia href=http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicamp;articleId=9050920amp;pageNumber=1Should your company 'crowdsource' its next project?/a/li lia href=http://www.bnet.com/2403-13241_23-52961.htmlWhat Is Crowdsourcing?/a/li lia href=http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/64687.htmlThe Power of Crowdsourcing Consumer Reviews/a/li lia href=http://www.ushahidi.comCrowdsourcing in action: mapping violence reports/a/li /ul p(Yes, I'm pretty sure this is me crowdsourcing my crowdsourcing research.

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/rww_preso_mar08.jpg" /As the world financial crisis has gotten gradually worse over the past few weeks, I've been pondering what this means for the Web. ReadWriteWeb as a publication focuses on emstrongtechnology/strong/em - web products and trends - rather than business and VC happenings. So with the exception of one of our feature writers a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/about_bernardlunn.php"Bernard Lunn/a, who has written a number of great posts on how a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/web_20_gritty_entrepreneur.php"entrepreneurs/a can a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/entrepreneurs_credit_crisis.php"survive/a this period, we've generally kept out of the Credit Crisis discussion thus far. /p pBut we're clearly now at a point where the financial problems of the world will have stronga big impact on where Web Technology is headed/strong. Indeed, it looks like we've arrived at one of those giant inflexion points - where one Web era is usurped by another. /p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12136amp;cb=12136' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12136amp;n=12136' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p pOf course this last happened when Web 2.0 was coined by O'Reilly Media in about 2004. Luckily not long before that ReadWriteWeb was born (early 2003). So ReadWriteWeb has been documenting Web 2.0 ever since. Over the past couple of years, we've been focusing on other, perhaps more meaningful, trends - Semantic Web, recommendation technologies, web sites becoming web services, Mobile Web and more. We've documented these meta trends in a number of big posts, some of which are in our a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/bestof.php"Best of ReadWriteWeb/a page and copied here:/p ul lia href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/web_technology_trends_for_2008_1.php"Web Technology Trends for 2008 and Beyond/a/li lia href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/toolkit-08.php"What's Next on the Web: a ReadWriteWeb Toolkit for 2008/a/li lia href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/2008_web_predictions.php"2008 Web Predictions/a/li lia href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/10_future_web_trends.php"10 Future Web Trends/a/li lia href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/10_more_future_web_trends.php"10 More Future Web Trends/a/li /ul h2The Welcome Return of Innovation/h2 pAlthough we'll continue to see the success stories of web 2.0 grow and perhaps prosper - social networking, mashups, user generated content, etc - strongnow is the time for innovation/strong.
