For the last few days I have been looking at hunch.com. This online service is simple yet unique. Basically you get a account and type in the search “what I’m making a decision about”.

It will pop up relevant questions on what you were trying to deiced on. One example is what type of computer should I buy, it will ask you questions like how big, brand, price, ext. After about 10 questions it shows three results. Most questions are user generated, however it seemed to be pretty good at coming with up with good results Hunch.com offers questions on about anything, the interface is simple and easy. I just hope they are creating a mobile version, that could be useful.

Visual search has been around for some time. However it so far is not so impressive. zoomii.com, however change that. Zoomii.com allows you to view most books on Amazon as if you were at a book store. They are lined up on book shelfs and placed in categories. Also just like a book store they are sorted by authors last name. You can also search for one book to. Over all this is a great way search for books and to wast time. (Below is over 19,000 Books.)

Modernfeed.com is a site that is basically a search engine of all the online shows and content. It is a big TV guide to shows online right now. So lest say you want to search your show, well you type it in to the search box or find it by networks, A-Z, and others. When you find your show it will tell you what episodes are available and if you can download it to your Ipod or if its in HD.Then it will bring you to that site, if its on ABC, FOX, ex. and you watch the show. I find it useful although Hulu does a good job to if you prefer that.

PS: (I also saw it works on the Iphone)

Yahoo just recently released a new smart mobile search. Now this may not big that big of news but this uses your voice to do things like sent a text message. This app on your phone, (the talking to your phone part is from vlingo.com technology), allows you to”…search for anything, including flight numbers, locations, Web site names, local restaurants, and more, by simply speaking,” from Yahoo. This technology seems to be up to date, but until I can test it we will see how well it will work in the middle of a busy city for example. (Read up more from the news.com article (link below))…
