The race among Google Vs Yahoo Vs Bing
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
It is completely fascinating matter the race among top search engines. The work of all these major search engines are same rather the web user can prioritize which search engine they prefer while collecting some information. The major twist that never appeared to someone is that these all search engines work collectively and never indicates that which result was appeared from which of these search engine. Additionally, as a search engine user you may go with some preference for a result to appear. Generally speaking, these all search engines work in a group and you must be surprise seeing the result to a particular search engine individually for a keyword. You will see that result seem to appear the very same only the search engine will be different to find it out. Still, the almost internet users always find Google as their best choice to sort out some information with their respective keywords. However, the most working phenomenon is always remaining unchallenged to end user. Although, the work of Yahoo and Bing is quite impressive but their share only 17% of search results and Google takes all the respective credits. The innovative and great research work was the one reason that took Google here to the road of success because just few years back Google was not even in the competition. The revolution has given all to Google and standstill work from the Yahoo and Bingo took them back where the Google was standing earlier. Google strategy was highly motivated with its search engine to take it to the peak position and revolutionary homework took it to the desired place. Since few years, there is no such competitor for Google search engine and it is enjoying the monopoly pattern. But it’s till mystery how they service to stack up the information and provide in such an impossible time. There are the different pattern and style for the each and every search engine to sort out the results and let it be appearing as a result. Simply, the Google prefer the sites that has a higher popularity with good back links and relevant and fresh content and opposite to it the Bing pattern doesn’t care for the fresh content neither a Good page rank for a websites.
Bing Crosby, Lucy Ball And The Del Mar California Race Track
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
In the late 1930’s, famous movie star and singer Bing Crosby set out to follow his dream of building a horse track at Del Mar in the cool Pacific Ocean breezes. Bing wanted a club where he and his friends could bet the horses all day and party all night. Thus was the Del Mar Horse Track born and built.
When the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and race track opened, Bing himself took tickets at the gate and welcomed race fans to what was to become one of the most famous race tracks in the United States, visited by race fans, horse owners and sports enthusiasts from all over the world.
In August of 1938, the famous-to-this-day race that put Del Mar on the map took place – the match between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti. Remember, this was a time when only baseball was more popular than horse racing in the American sports psyche. The race was major front page news in the sports sections of major daily newspapers all across the country. Seabiscuit won this hugely important race in front of a record crowd. The Del Mar Race Track went on to become one of the most famous racetracks in the world.
The following years brought even more stars and celebrities to Del Mar and the race track: Red Skelton, Douglas Fairbanks, Lucy Ball, Desi Arnaz (”Lucy, you some ’splainin to do!”) and Ava Gardner. The track was also frequented by Joe Frisco, a softly stuttering comic of the day, who would relate his success at “Bing’s” racetrack thusly: “I came by the racetrack yesterday but it was closed, so I just sh-shoved the money under the front gate.”
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Del Mar was closed for the duration of the war. The fairgrounds were initially used as a U.S. Marine training facility, then altered again and used to produce parts for the B-17 bombers that helped win the war. When the war ended, President Truman declared August 15, 1945 a national day of celebration. More than 20,300 horse racing fans showed up at the Del Mar track and bet an enormous (in those days) one million dollars.
Shortly thereafter the railroad started a special promotion. The “railroad/racetrack special” brought race patrons from Los Angeles to Del Mar. Meeting the train and “star watching” became popular sport for track patrons and locals. Today, more than 70 years (and nearly $60,000,000 in improvements) later, the racing season will once again begin on July 22, 2009 through September 9.

Bing back my Baby to me â Microsoft to enter the race for more sophisticated search on the internet

Bing back my Baby to me â Microsoft to enter the race for more sophisticated search on the internet
Â
In the last few years we have seen several companies and research institutions take up the battle on information flow on the internet and convert it into useful knowledge for the users around the world.
Google became in a short period of time the market leader of search engines and through its business model, creates a healthy return to its stock owners. However, things are changing on the internet. Users are changing as well, as they become more sophisticated and more demanding of what they want from the internet. This will require some development in how we do searches as well. Search for knowledge either its personal or corporate interests, has challenges as it stands today.
Companies are in need to do more sophisticated knowledge hunt in order to satisfy their business intelligence needs, and individuals are in quest for knowledge in areas like medicine, travels and other personal matters.
All this makes a search for authentic and quality information very important. The use of semantics and mathematic relations to sort out the information available and transform it into knowledge has been tried by several parties in the last 5 years.
So, now Microsoft takes up the challenge again and says Bing and Decide. And Microsoft is to take up the competition with Google.
Microsoft will initiate its search engine Bing and will enter into a competition with the major search engine Google.
Microsoft has tried before with MSN Search and Live Search without success and no threat to Google at all.
Microsoft is charging ahead according to Wall Street Journal with a more effective search engine because it searches deeper into the web pages to find the search string you look for.
The name is supposed to be an important key to success as well. The name BING is short and easy to say and will work worldwide on all types of domains says Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
The advertisement budget is on around 100 million Dollars, and we just have to wait and see how effective it will be and how well received the search engine Bing will be.
So if you can not Google it, Microsoft will help you bing it to you!
Bing it to me baby!
The question is what do you want and how do you want it? Harvesting the web for information has been around us for decades now. However, its been a changing arena with various engines to achieve this for us and now the market leader Google has been our main provider for some years. Will it last? My answer to this is a clear no. The competitors are arriving and will provide the information harvesters amongst us with more comprehensive tools in near future, and some are already there for us.
The latest news is that Microsoft will launch its new search engine called Bing on June 3, and prepares to compete more effectively with Google. I question that Google is the main competition at the moment or should be regarded as the main competitor when it comes to harvesting information on the web and other sources. While Google invented the advertising-based search model, which produces most popular items for each query, Microsoft is aiming to change the search game by calling Bing a âdecision engineâ , which will offer more insights to users for helping them take decisions, and not necessarily throw the most popular and relevant items. âWe are introducing a new level of organization to search results, and our differentiator will be the best results for query,â Satya Nadella, senior vice- president (R&D , online services division) Microsoft told the media.
So Google are getting more competitors by the day, are they for real or will they just vanish into the shadow like the rest of them? Will Google be the king of the hill for the foreseen future, or will it meet its make sooner or later?
Cuil has made an effort, as break away people of Google try to launch their version of a search engine.

WolframeAlpha is making an effort to convert your searches into knowledge search and claims to be a computational knowledge search engine.
http://www.wolframalpha.com/screencast/introducingwolframalpha.html
Hakia is another knowledge search engine which claims to be an ontological semantic and natural language processing (NLP) based search engine.
Inxight SmartDiscovery Awareness Server claims to discover the right information quickly, when you need it. It is a federated search solution for integrated and logical composite of a variety of information sources, including internet, deep web, and subscription content as well as documents, data and records repositories, such as Google Search appliance and Oracle Secure Enterprise Search installations.
Tracking your searches is a topic of interest for the genuine researcher, who should be careful revealing what he works on and does not want to have others looking into what his interests are at a given point of time. This could be due to the sensitivity of his searches and the research he is doing or it could simply be that he does not want to be used in any advertisement campaign.
Therefore we see other capability technologies to add on to the search engines like Kapow Technologies which provide Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Data Collection and the vanguard of new data access capabilities for extracting web data, whether inside or outside the firewall. The term “open” refers to overt, publicly available sources (as opposed to covert or classified sources). Kapow enables the analysts and IT to reliably and surgically extract web data without time-consuming coding, scripting or unreliable screen-scraping. Kapow arms intelligence, defense and civilian agencies with capabilities to extract web data from any source with a new level of accuracy. These new capabilities can feed it into any data structure, application, search tool (Endeca, Chiliad, Google Search Applicance, Inxight, etc) Business Intelligence (Business Objects, Cognos, Hyperion, SaaS,etc) or Analytic model (Palantir, Thetus, Inxight, Autonomy, Language Weaver, NetOwl, Agent Logic, etc.)
http://kapowtech.com/
Are we on the threshold of a new generation of search engines, that will serve the purpose of special interest groups or researches in need of more knowledge, for the decision makers that will need to information to make their decisions?
It certainly looks like due to the expanding volume of information available on the internet, there is a need to be more intelligent in how to get hold of the right information at the right time for the right people.
Smart search has been a term for a long time, and it seems like it becomes more and more important as the explosion of information is overwhelming and the verification and quality control of the information available on the internet will be more and more important to the users.
Converting information to knowledge has become a huge challenge on the internet, corporate intranets and even in your local network at home. The amount of information stored in todayâs society is enormous, and each individual will need a way to search their information stored in an effective way to find what they need and nothing more.
Google is the first generation of global search engine, and we enter the era of the second generation search engines that will become the knowledge engine.
We still remain to see the optimal web harvesting solution that is intuitive and accessable to the normal web user, either he is corporate or personal. Harvesting the web for the knowledge available there is a huge task, however it seems to come at a price to the users at the moment, and the price is too high for most of them. We have already begun to create an upper class of information hunters on the web, namely those corporates or rich individuals that can afford to use the existing tools available to search for knowledge in the open space around us, the web.

Twitter- Race For More Followers- Good Or Bad?
October 28, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Are you also in the race to have more followers than others on Twitter.com? Is it good or bad? Let us not forget that we live in an age when stress is all around us. Some amount of stress is unavoidable – we have to take it. But what about activities where stress can be avoided? Social networking sites have added stress to our life in many ways.
We want to open and view our page every day without fail. If we do not do that, it causes stress. If we post something that may not be liked by others, we are worried. That again causes stress.
We want to tell our friends about everything in our life. Is that necessary? In earlier days, you did not call your friends to tell them that you are drinking coffee, but with Twitter many people are doing exactly that. This is another stress causing factor. Rather than enjoying a sunset, you want to tell your followers that you are watching it- sad but true.
Twitter is the latest big bang on the Internet and everybody wants to have a profile. They were devotees of Facebook, Myspace, Orkut, etc., but suddenly they feel bad if they do not have a page on Twitter. Everybody is thinking about what to write on his or her page. I made a page and decided to write nothing. Why take stress about telling others about when I take bath?
The race for having more followers is a big stress. Tell me, why should I expect people to read what I write? Unless I have a reputation for writing things that are witty, interesting, informative and useful to others, why should anyone follow my page? Till I do that I should be happy with my friends following me. And once I develop some art to make others interested I should be happy to have few followers. I cannot get followers by spamming or by copying others? And ultimately what do I gain by having more followers – nothing. I can gain something if I am there to promote a product or sell a service, not otherwise. Please avoid stress at every cost. Stress takes the joy out of our life. Follow your own friends and let them follow you on Twitter. Following unknown people so that they will in turn follow you is just a stress creator which will amount to nothing in future. So follow your common sense and opt out of the race for more unknown followers on Twitter.

SEO Company or SEO Freelancer a Race of Best
October 27, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
SEO is the cheapest and most productive way to generate leads for your business. Unfortunately most companies know very little about SEO and they tend to think that hiring a freelance web master and in house discussion sessions would give them the same results as a professional search engine optimization firm. But in each and every case such trials lead to loss of resources than any materialistic gains.
Why is it better to outsource?
Search Engines are continuously updating their algorithms. It is practically impossible to track their changes unless a dedicated professional team is reviewing search engine trends through study of a wide group of sites. Also the team needs to be adept to the latest internet marketing trends and take decisive actions with proper precaution. An SEO firm is more likely to be aware of such changes to search engine optimization algorithms than an in-house individual.
An individual will likely spend the majority of his or her time developing and implementing SEO strategies. Outsource SEO professionals must perform these same functions while constantly studying the varying trends, staying updated with changing trends and familiarizing themselves with the latest Search engine optimisation theories. This is a highly unpredictable industry and only that SEO Firm with R&D set-up can survive amidst the whimsical trends of the search engines competing against each other.
Hardcore SEO industry professionals are able to successfully predict the changes associated with SEO through continuous study. An SEO firm generally has a number of SEO consultants on his pay roll and each of them specialize in particular domains, be it link building, SEO Copy writing, web page optimizing etc. These consultants collectively team up to execute a successful search engine optimisation campaign.
Time is another concern with in-house SEO. Will one individual be able to optimize multiple pages, write content, tags, build links, run reports and perform other SEO tasks in a timely fashion? One person can only do so much. In the online business world, time is money. Most companies can do in a matter of days what might take an individual week to do. Many companies who use in-house SEO personnel spend more than necessary to get the same amount of work done in a longer amount of time.
What about cost? Surely the cost of hiring an individual freelancer is substantially lower than the cost of hiring an SEO company, However time concerns and professional expertise will make SEO outsourcing cheaper than having one guy do all. Kind of Jack Of all trades but master of none.
In any case, is SEO outsourcing the right move for your company?
Whether you choose to outsource to an SEO Company or hire a freelance SEO, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Do your research by performing a simple cost/benefit analysis on what SEO outsourcing versus hiring freelance SEO cost. In some cases, freelance SEO maybe a better option, especially when SEO is not that significant for you. rather you want a webmaster who can maintain your site as also do some SEO stuff.
Whether you hire a SEO company or a webmaster, you should try to acertain their knowledge. Also are they open to discussions and accept criticisms. It is better to do business with someone who shares ideas and insights than one who simply learns from others but is miserly to release his knowledge. Next generation techniques are only developed by innovative individuals who are employees of some companies. Exceptions do occur.
Make a reference check.
Contact references and try to know the results.
Believe me, SEO is more important for small companies compared to the bigger ones. This is for the simple reason that an offline marketing campaign involves manpower, paper, ink, travelling etc. Whereas on the search engines your only investment is manpower.
An offline campaign would take years to reach foreign shores unless you are a tycoon with huge spread. Contrary an online campaign can reach the whole world in a matter of some days and generate traffic to your site. In the first case you are reaching the customer but in the second case they are reaching you by your website reach powered by an SEO campaign run by SEO Company or SEO Freelancer that generated results.
Thus to conclude one should be more comfortable to outsource SEO to seasoned campaigners than freelance webmasters because the time that he eventually looses can not be paid off.
