Overflight: Pop Up Summaries Implemented
December 17, 2008
Overflight Google provides a dashboard of Google’s Web log posts. You can access the service here. Just select a Google category. You can hover over a Google blog post title, and the Overflight system displays a snippet of the Web post. Google coordinates its public announcements with its Web log posts.

We are planning another vertical Overflight. Watch for the announcement. You can search the full text of Google’s Web log posts using the Exalead search system. In head to head comparisons, ArnoldIT.com found that Exalead does a better job of adding metadata such as dates and entity extraction. Run a query on Overflight via Exalead and then run the same query on Google’s Blogsearch. Judge for yourself.
