Looking For Something Online? Just Ask Mamma Mamma.com is a "smart" metasearch engine - every time you type in a query Mamma simultaneously searches a variety of engines, directories, and deep content sites, properly formats the words and syntax for each, compiles their results in a virtual database, eliminates duplicates, and displays them in a uniform manner according to relevance. It's like using multiple search engines, all at the same time.

Dave Winer Talks At Microsoft Research Dave Winer talks at Microsoft Research Tim Jarrett blogged Dave Winer's talk yesterday at Microsoft Research. Below is a couple of questions and answers I found interesting as they relate to audioblogging. Q: Where do you see blogging going as more stuff gets digital? A: Well, I'm a text guy. And I use PhotoShop, I use about three commands. Q: What about voice? A: A year ago I would have said sure. But now I've used it and I'm not sure. I work at the Berkman Center with Chris Lydon--having dinner with him and his voice is like having dinner with NPR--and he did a series of interviews with pioneers of blogging. Serious, interesting stuff. But I wouldn't call that a blog. Q: It's oral history. A: Yeah, and I'm not saying that because it's not a blog it's not good. When I tried to quantify what I meant by a blog, I said "it has an editorial voice." Q: But what about voice interfaces, would that lower the barrier to entry? A: I think they're pretty widespread already... Q: What about blogging in other formats--mobile devices, etc.? A: That's just like the question about audio and voice. I don't think I could display a blog on this device and I know I couldn't write one on it. Maybe it could be done but I'm not an expert. IMHO, Dave should give Audlink a listen (on a regular basis) and imagine where this could go. Today Audlink is where all the "cool kids" , audiobloggers hang out (at least it contains a hangout that we can all link to, find, see and click to listen). Where will the "cool kids" be tomorrow? My bets are with the service(s) that embrace the best user creation tools with the best of breed discovery services of the new user created free medias online world.[Audio/Mobile Blogging News]
