You may have seen a lot of the 87 things in this presentation… but it’s great to see them all in one place.

So you thought search had all but been wrapped up by the folks @ 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California. Right? Well think again. The thinkers @ One Microsoft Way, Redmond thought they might reinvent the “I’m trying to find something on the internet” wheel. Those crazy Microsoft tinkerers felt that the internet has well… evolved (overloaded). So why shouldn’t search? The result is badda boom, badda bing. Mmmm many have tried so let’s wait and see on this one… anyone remember cuil?

And in other search news (not really in the same space… and released a little while ago) is the nerdtastic Wolfram Alpha. As they say “Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone” Go on give it a tickle.

A search engine with a sense of humour… what?

PS: More Easter Eggs here…

PSS: Wonder if Google has anything up their long sleeves?

Let me google that for you.

Great quote from a Paul Buchheit presentation.

Gmail now with themes, like this wonderfully retro “terminal”. Eyes hurt now.

And a great little “digital in the wild” observation from Iain.

The google killer? Mmm maybe not, but could be interesting. Powerset searches wikipedia and can bring the information to you instead of you to the information… if that makes sense. Watch the demovid.

So Google is giving all homeless people in San Francisco a permanent phone number and voice mail.
Good for giving people a contact number when looking for work.
