Twitter Searches Now Added to Bing
Microsoft's new search engine looks to capture the real-time Web. By Paul McDougall
InformationWeek
July 2, 2009 08:42 AM Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) has added a feature to Bing that allows the search engine to query the Internet for so-called real-time data, including postings from Twitter users. "There has been much discussion of real-time search and the premium on immediacy of data that has been created primarily by Twitter," said Sean Suchter, general manager for Microsoft's Search Technology Center in Silicon Valley, in a blog post Wednesday. InformationWeek's Mitch Wagner demonstrates how to "get good" at Twitter. At Web 2.0 Expo Spring 2009, InformationWeek editor-at-large David Berlind catches up with Kosmix director of product management Vijay Chittoor to look at Kosmix's unique search site which is designed for people looking to explore certain topics. At first blush, 8K Miles appears like any other IT contractor marketplace on the Web (eLance, oDesk, etc.).
InformationWeek's Mitch Wagner demonstrates how to "get good" at Twitter.
"Today we're unveiling an initial foray into integrating more real-time data into our search results, starting with some of the more prominent and prolific Twitterers from a variety of spheres," wrote Suchter. Among the Twitterers that Bing will index at the outset are Wall Street Journal tech columnist Kara Swisher and a number of Microsoft staffers. Bing will index "a few thousand" Twitter users in the project's early days, Suchter said. "We're not indexing all of Twitter at this time..just a small set of prominent and prolific Twitterers to start," he wrote. The index includes Tweets from Al Gore, American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, and a number of other high-profile figures from the arts, politics, and technology. Microsoft is looking to make a bigger splash in the search market. Through the first nine months of 2008 the company committed more than $1.5 billion to acquiring search, or search-driven businesses—including a $1.3 billion buyout of enterprise specialists Fast Search & Transfer. It's positioning Bing not just as a search site, but as a so-called "decision engine." Bing includes features that allow users to book travel and engage in other e-commerce transactions with just a few clicks. Redmond hopes to catch up to Google (NSDQ: GOOG) in search market share. But it's got its work cut out. Google presently controls about 65% of the U.S. search market, while Microsoft owns only about 8% of the market, according to ComScore. Yahoo, the number two player, held 20% of the market, as of May. Article Found at:

Measuring Linkfluence and Visual Social Media Monitoring
by Peter Corbett on June 2nd, 2009
I LOVE buzz monitoring tools - though you probably already know that if you’ve read my posts on:
- Social Media Share of Voice - Converse, Adidas, New Balance, Nike and Under Armour
- Buzz Monitoring and Sentiment Analysis for Disney
- Sentiment Analysis of Obama’s First 100 Days - 52% Positive
- SXSW Recap Post: Positive Vs. Negative Sentiment
- Buzz Monitoring: Google vs. Microsoft Sentiment Analysis
Going beyond buzz monitoring is really important. Sentiment analysis is certainly one of the ways to take social media monitoring a setup further, but influencer identification is really what marketers are aiming for when they put tools like ScoutLabs and Radia6 to the test.
One tool that is not well know in the US (because it’s a French technology with a limited private beta) is Linkfluence and I think it’s a really unique technology for use in social media marketing campaigns. If you want to take it for a test drive, leave a comment on this post and i’ll see what I can do. Here’s a video walk through of the tool:

biennale 2009_ partecipazioni nazionali
Padiglione ItaliaSi scrive del Padiglione nostrano con gli stessi toni coi quali si commenta una tragedia annunciata. Con l’aggravante che, per semplificarsi il lavoro, a volte si liquida il tutto con un fin troppo semplice sarcasmo. E se si provasse a osservare e descrivere le opere esposte?...
![]()
pubblicato mercoledì 1 luglio 2009
Alla luce di quello che potrebbe apparire una sorta di revisionismo pittorico, è quasi d’obbligo sentenziare che la pittura del Padiglione Italia è troppa e troppo mal scelta; che in questo settore l’allestimento risulta pesante; che Montesano avrebbe potuto concentrarsi su un unico, prezioso lavoro, anziché disperdersi nello sforzo di allestire a tutti i costi. Stesso discorso vale per il maestro Chia, troppo poco ancorato a se stesso.
Inutile anche dire che avremmo voluto vedere qualcosa di maggiormente “inedito” dal talentuoso Galliano e che un po’ di rammarico per il contesto espositivo sopraggiunge nell’osservare lo sforzo di Cingolani e il magniloquente lavoro di Verlato che, a dispetto di tutto, sa stupire i visitatori meno esigenti.
Detto ciò, varcando la soglia dello spazio conquistato in quest’edizione si potrebbe cercare di porsi nell’ottica dei curatori, che hanno più volte ribadito la loro volontà di affrancarsi dalla tendenza alla consuetudine di un padiglione sobrio e omogeneo, indicando nel rifiuto all’unitarietà, vista come falsa e imposta, una tendenza post-modernista che privilegia una pluralità di stili e situazioni espositive.
Obiettivamente, si è bombardati da una visione d’insieme piuttosto complessa. A volerla smontare, seguendone virtuali linee-guida, si rimane stupefatti dalla singolarità e dal valore di alcune tra le opere proposte. L’imponente struttura di Silvio Wolf troneggia con aura mistica e illumina di raggi misteriosi la lunga parete incastonata da una miriade d’inquietanti, piccole sculture in ceramica a opera di Bertozzi & Casoni, il cui spessore è indubbio. Così come assolutamente imprescindibili sono le sculture di Aron Demetz, fortemente penalizzate nella posizione, in cui la figura umana appare angosciante e sinistra, a tratti in fase di decomposizione avanzata, grazie alla stessa linfa naturale dell’albero; un connubio vitale su quale prevale il gelo della morte.
Risulta interessante anche il noto lavoro di Giacomo Costa, mentre le grandi foto di Matteo Basilè sono talmente stra-ordinarie nella loro nitidezza e sublimazione estetica, raffinatezza formale e scelta dei soggetti, da riuscire a calamitare ogni sguardo in quella che sembra una competizione di spazi conquistati.
A questo proposito, ci si aspettava pannelli di maggiori dimensioni da parte di Elisa Sighicelli, visto quanto era stato annunciato, mentre le sue foto sono forse l’opera più danneggiata dal contesto allestitivo; il video, diversamente, una volta trovato dalla parte opposta del padiglione, crea suggestioni, in una riflessione profonda sul ritorno della materia all’energia iniziale.
Berruti si avvale della struggente melodia di Paolo Conte, e non delude, anche se il video mantiene un ritmo che non si uniforma alla colonna sonora. Le tenere immagini conquistano l’attenzione dei visitatori stranieri, meno abituati al linguaggio dell’artista piemontese.
Si conclude con l’opera che ha raccolto più consensi da parte degli addetti ai lavori:il video dei Masbedo emerge vincente in quest’odissea. Schegge d’incanto in fondo al dubbio è una prova magistrale del duo milanese, nel quale un impianto tecnologico e cinematografico di altissimo livello sorregge una composizione narrativa di grande pathos epico e formale. Il tormento dell’uomo causato dalla vanitas, la conseguente perdita di un ancoraggio e la tragedia imminente si sovrappongono all’immagine salvifica della donna e ai valori della domus.
