Podcasting Toolbox: 70+ Podcasting Tools and Resources
Podcasting may not have lived up to the early hype, but with iPods and other MP3 players still selling like crazy, the potential audience for these audio shows is huge. We’ve compiled a monster list of 70+ tools and resources for podcasters and wannabes.
Top 100 « AltSearchEngines
While conducting the research and search engine checking I did while compiling this very eclectic list of search engines, directories, tools and stuff related, I realized that there are some very competitive trends in a few directions. The most prominent of those seems to be the effort to create the most artificially intelligent NLP, or Natural Language Process, that can be utilized in a search engine. More and more search engines are looking for ways to create search engines that “understand,” context, synonyms, meanings, inverted phrases, and more…and well, most of them have been pretty successful at it.
Another trend I noticed is the emphasis on search results produced in “real-time,” and I am still not sure I grasp that concept…I mean, aren’t all results delivered in real time? What other kind of time is there? Is there like, unreal time? When a search result pops up after I’ve input a search term, that time sure feels real to me….even more real at 3a.m, after working on an article for the past 9 hours, when my butt has turned numb, and my neck feels like it’s in a vice. But yes, there is a newer method of finding fresher, more immediately published material on a continually updated basis, that search engines are now capable of retrieving. This is especially true with news, blog, and social search engines, all which serve a more immediate need for currency, trends, and “what’s hot.”
