Track the Search Vendors
May 29, 2009
I will be adding to the Overflight service automatic pages that bring together a range of information about search vendors. We’ve been testing the system and for the most part, we have trimmed the number of false drops. The way the service will work is that you will navigate to a list of search vendors arranged in alphabetical order. Click on the name of a company in which you have an interest. The Overflight system will produce a run down of what’s new about the company from a range of sources. Some will be familiar like Web logs. Others will annoy like the Twitter hits. A few may be unfamiliar to you like videos about a search vendor. The idea is that you can click on a company and see what’s new. No key word searching. I find it easier to click a link and scan to see if there’s something that strikes me as important. For a preview of the service for Autonomy IDOL, click here. We will be fiddling with the final appearance so it matches my Google Overflights. More information about the vendors for which the automated service will be available will be coming soon. We have a short list of enhancements for these basic automated reports. We hope to have the full service available for free, of course, by September 2009.
