  If You Like Searching and Hate Reading...

  I came across a new search engine yesterday called SearchMe that takes a more visual approach to search. Personally I think it's very cool to see the results and be able to flip through them iPod-style. Using SearchMe is pretty easy, drop your query in the search box and then if applicable you can choose the appropriate category. Above I used my last name and you can see I had the choice of dentists, painters, actors, religiousy folks, and advertising. Because my modus operandi here happens to be strategic web based narcissism I clicked on Advertising & Marketing. This brought me to a screen full of screen shot results for Dumouchel as it relates to Advertising and Marketing. You can see my LinkedIn Profile, my Yahoo Search Ambassador page, and the Systems & Marketing Solutions web site amongst other results. You can flip between results using the arrows at the bottom of the results page. SearchMe has some basic setting for you to play with as well. You can block adult results, choose night or day color schemes, and choose to either open your selections in the same window or a new one. The thing I want to find out is if they are pulling their own results or if they are piggybacking off of another engine. The results I pulled for various queries that I follow didn't match what I typically see in the big 3. Plus it doesn't have robdumouchel.com indexed at all just yet. I think we're going to see a lot more visual search in the future, and I'm kind of excited to see it develop. I know some big corporations like AT&T are exploring the space (they're calling it POGO), but I'm rooting for a break out little guy. Even Google has been adding visual elements to their SERPs. First it was maps and videos, and now today I found that the result for my LinkedIn profile has my profile picture beside it. I hear they're going to do this with Facebook too. I'm really interested to see how this progresses and if it pulls any mainstream attention. I think as a society Americans would prefer to not read stuff if at all possible, so Visual Search has a lot of potential.

  AT&T to release a Firefox killer (?)

  I don’t know much about AT&T, apart from it being a company named in many American movies. The company is established in a number of countries around the world, but in Sweden there’s no sign of it. Not that I have notices anyway. But when I heard the news that they are about to release their own browser, the name did ring a bell, at least. So what is this, Pogo Browser? I thought it was a dance style originated i the 70-80s punk music scene or a mobile device from 2001 (Pogo without the Browser word). Obvioulsy it can be more than that. The geek crowd have different things to say about Pogo. While Techcruch sounds more negative, Thunk Different has a more positive approach to it, even calling it “stunning”. Well it is 3D and it do looks pretty slick, but is it usefull? Don’t know yet.

  Alguien quiere unirse en la guerra de los navegadores, en esta ocasión es AT&T, el cual conjuntamente con la empresa canadiense Vizible, está trabajando en un navegador 3D, que podría llegar a dar mucha relevancia en el mercado, su nombre es Pogo. Reúne características similares a Mozilla, siendo un navegador normal, que permite organizar favoritos, abrir diferentes pestañas, etc. Lo llamativoes el motor 3D, que podemos ver como funciona en la imagen que aparece a continuación. Si queréis ver la estética de este bello navegador, puedes ir a la nota oficial de TechCrunch donde revela un video, en el cual muestra a fondo el uso del navegador. Por el momento se encuentra en una versión beta, y privada, es decir que necesitarás un código para descargar e instalar el producto.

  Pogo: AT&T Enterting (Extending) the Web Browser Experience

  http://artefactgroup.com/frontier/2008/04/17/pogo-att-entert...
  24 days ago in Laboratory Frontier · Authority: 1

  Arstechnica recently wrote a preview article on AT&T’s desktop web browser.  It’s an interesting development considering the changing habits of web browsing (see: snacking, RSS, social media) and the advancements in web page implementations (see: RIA, Silverlight, AIR, etc). The web space is becoming more of a place than a collection of documents serving up bits. Behind that content are consumer goods, social relationships and answers to research questions. As they become more engaging, more advanced controls will be necessary to manage emerging habits. While it is still in private beta – aka broken – it toys with the idea of a changing browsing experience. Instead of making something more efficient, it introduces functionality that helps organize pages, and collection of pages (which they call “cells”) for user’s to manage as opposed to favorites and hierarchy of favorites. Another component to Pogo is the notion of a visual history.  While I haven’t personally experienced how this feature interacts, I’m curious how this is realized and why they see this as a large unmet need. I mean, they made it 3-D and extremely visual. AT&T is really experimenting with the market new ways we as consumers will potential engage with our online world. Flock is another interesting implementation of web browsing in that it exposes the practices in the context of social media and interactions. It is still a rather traditional web browser, with similar metaphors, but it is built around the embedded access points into social web sites like Flickr, Twitter and Facebook.  Shiira is another emerging web browser (based on the Webkit foundation, like Safari).  These browser are introducing new ways to manage multiple pages at once and visualizing them in ways other than tabs. The question this raises is how this will impact the relationship between client side (browser) functionality and server side (RIAs) functionality. Do I Digg to bookmark? Or do I bookmark within my browser? Benefits? Drawbacks? Anyways, just food for thought. Here is also a video from TechCrunch via CrunchGear First Look Into Pogo  via [Ars] AT&T Pogo Homepage

  Pogo: Neuer Browser von AT

  http://blog.webmaster-homepage.de/item/1856
  43 days ago in Webmaster Blog | Erzählungen aus dem Netz · Authority: 96

  TechCrunch berichtet von Pogo, einem neuen Mozilla-basierten Browser, der von AT&T entwickelt wird. Zum Einsatz kommt dabei neben der Mozilla Engine auch 3D-Technik von Vizible, die der Software zu einer spektakulären Bedienoberfläche verhilft. Anstelle der in modernen Browsern gewohnten Tabs verfügt Pogo über eine spezielle Leiste mit Thumbnails der geöffneten Seiten, die sich scheinbar auch über verschiedene 3D-Visualisierungen durchblättern lassen. Eine Demo dazu gibt es bei AT&T zu sehen. Zweifellos bietet Pogo eine Menge netten Eye-Candy. Allerdings bezweifle ich, dass es noch einen Markt für einen weiteren Webbrowser gibt. Die Tatsache, dass Pogo nur unter Windows laufen soll, verringert die Zielgruppe noch weiter.
