CouchDB has started. Time to relax."

Instead of going through different review sites to get a clue about the quality of a product, Omgili aggregates for you the overall users sentiment from multiple reviews sites (Amazon, Target, Shopping, Yahoo!Shopping, CNet and Pricegrabber). You are not only getting the product grade, but also the number of users who assigned it, the overall mood over three years, and of course the discussions about the product. Omgili supplies with all you need to know before buying your Christmas gifts."

rangeva writes: "We just released Omgili Search Aid — a tool that helps the user in formulating a search query. By searching in search queries other users have performed, you find ideas about the correct keywords to use in order to get the best results. But hey, you say, I have Google Suggest and Yahoo! Search Assist for that, what is the difference? Well there are actually three main differences:

Whereas with Google/Yahoo you can easily use their results only with their own search engine, we offer an easy search in Omgili and Google/Yahoo as well.

The mentioned services offer maximum 10 results for each search term, where Omgili Search Aid returns every query combination we have ordered by relevancy and popularity.

The data in Yahoo and Google is edited/censored whereas with Omgili Search Aid we release it "As is".

So we hope you enjoy using Omgili Search Aid and I can promise there is more to come..."

rangeva writes: "How do people use WH questions when they discuss? By using Omgili I extracted some interesting statistics and concluded the following:
1. We (humans) are most interested in the Object/Idea/Action and least interested in the reason for it.
2. After we understand what we are talking about we would like to know when the whole thing happened!
3. Wow! we think — really? How ( In what manner) could it happen we are now interested in understanding.
4. We then try to dig deeper and examine the choice of alternatives in the scene.
5. Only then we ask who was involved in the whole thing.
6. Now that we understand it better and just before the reason (least interesting) we are interested in knowing where it all happened.

I was honored to be asked for my opinion so I sat down and wrote my thoughts about what the future search engine should be. Granted, this is not exactly what I was asked to do, but I ended up with a four pages document so I decided to post it on our blog. I hope you find it interesting."
