Posted April 26, 2010 by cgseo under under Pay-Per-Click

Internet Evolution has come up with their first-ever list of the top 100 most innovative and influential people in the Web 2.0 world. In the social networking category, Mark Zuckerberg, the Founder of Facebook , beat out Kevin Rose, the Founder of Digg . In the search category, the heads of Google , Microsoft , and Yahoo! were named, but surprisingly Jason Calacanis of Mahalo was named, as well. Internet Evolution has narrowed down the list into 10 different categories, which include the most innovative and influential people in each category: Social Networking Enterprise & Cloud Computing News/Media Greentech Wireless & Gadgets E-Commerce Search Security Digital Entertainment Most Over-Rated I am particularly interested in the Search category , where Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the Founders of Google , were named first. Stefan Weitz of Microsoft and Carol Bartz of Yahoo were also named, and Jason Calacanis was also named in the Search category. Here is the list of the top 10 most innovative and influential people in search: 1. Larry Page, Founder, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) 2. Stefan Weitz, Director of Search, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) 3.

Suranga Chandratillake, CEO, blinkx Being in the search industry, I’m not sure if I totally agree with this list, as there are some websites that are in the list that I don’t necessarily think are really “search engines”. I would also name a few individuals like Danny Sullivan to the search category before I named Jason Calacanis to the search category.

Bing Launches Maps Apps for World Tour, Oodle, Foursquare

Posted March 31, 2010 by cgseo under under Pay-Per-Click

Microsoft launched a few new apps for Bing Maps today: the World Tour App , the Oodle App and the Foursquare App . “Just about every month, Bing Maps gets a makeover in the form of new map imagery for locations worldwide,” a representative for Bing tells WebProNews. “The World Tour map app brings these updates to life using the Bing Map Apps framework, Silverlight and Azure.” “Oodle.com, one of the fastest growing classifieds services is creating an app that will map rental housing on Bing Maps which will be available today,” he says. “The Oodle Rentals app will pull-in Oodle data, allowing users to look at various rental housing available from Oodle.com.” “Last week at SES New York, we announced our partnership with foursquare and plans to roll out the foursquare Everywhere app on Bing Maps in the coming weeks,” he notes. “Today, the app will be live and ready for use.” That’s not all Microsoft announced for Bing at SES. They also announced an update to the Bing user interface, which adapts the page and search results based on the intent of the query. “We’ll be testing a new user interface that includes new design concepts that move the Quick Tabs functionality to the top of the screen, so customers see a more visual and organized page,” the company said. They also announced a new search experience for autos. For more info on these updates, watch our coverage of Microsoft’s SES keynote and our exclusive interview with Bing Director Stefan Weitz.
