Having touched on Semantic Search in general terms, this post explores it in a bit more detail. Having watched a series of webcasts from Semantic Universe on the tools of Web 3.0, I have been on the lookout for interesting semantic applications that shed more light on the power of Web 3.0.

The Search for Meaning
My prior musings on search tools started from a discussion on how keyword searching has reached its limits. Courts and lawyers are struggling with the immense amount of information involved in discovery and hoping for more cost effective ways of finding relevant case information without breaking the bank.

"Hellow Twellow" – Finding that Someone Special On Twitter

Yahoo Searching in the "Clouds" – Quintura's Visual Search
As you probably know by now, I like to see different approaches to the way we normally do things on the web. This weekend, I was doing some searches on my favorite new addiction (you know it as Twitter), when I came across a search tool called Quintura. I thought I’d test it out

Link Steroids — Gimme the Juice!
Search Engine Optimization is a constant game of cat and mouse between the Search Engine companies and the webmasters of the world. Seems like last week, one of the biggies on the webmaster side got caught by the biggie on the search engine side, and in the process, I learned a new industry phrase called
Search is as Search Does
Legal KM, like all KM, has two major aspects: 1) Capturing knowledge well, and 2) Making that knowledge easy to access. I found a blog recently that help put #2 into a new light. The blog is called Search Done Right and is produced by Vivisimo, the maker of search engine Velocity.
Hearding E-Mail – Its Better Than Cats….
I’ve always had this dream that when you die, you get a statistical profile of your life when you arrive at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter hands you a notebook (although recently he hands me an Amazon Kindle), with all the things you’ve done while you were alive. How many times did your heart
