There have been a lot of recent improvements to web search, but the appearance of results themselves has been pretty constant -- 10 or so web pages in a vertical list. Frequently this is exactly the right format, but for some searches you need more options and more control. That's why we've created our experimental search page to let you try out some of our newest ideas.
You may have noticed our "alternative views" experiment showcased last May. This lets you visualize your search results in new ways, and we'd like to highlight some of the features we've recently added.
Map view
Suppose you're scouring the web trying to find out about math conferences happening in your state. Or you'd like to sit back and enjoy some jazz around town. This information is on the web and accessible through regular web search, but probably spread out over many sites and pages. Unless one of these pages has a map, it might be hard to visualize all the locations at once. Map view solves this problem by plotting some of the key locations contained in your web results onto a map.
After scrolling or zooming the map, try clicking on the "Update Results" button near the top left corner of the map to show more results just in the area you're looking at.
Timeline view
Timeline view does the same thing as map view, but for dates found on the web. This includes dates of upcoming or historic events, or even biographical information -- all generated automatically from your search results.
The graph across the top of the page summarizes how dates in your results are spread through time, with higher bars representing a larger number of unique dates. Click anywhere on the graph to zoom in to that particular period of time, and use the text box to the right to specify any range of years, months, or days. Much as in map view, the results below the graph emphasize the dates contained on each page.
Info view
Info view is a bit different. It doesn't dramatically change the visualization of results; web pages are still displayed vertically as usual. Now you'll notice a new control panel on the right side of the page.

YoYo Games 's winter competition games
What Company Is Offering:
YoYo Games Ltd is a UK Based Game Start up founded by Game industry veterans, Sandy Duncan and Michel Cassius. YoYo Games launched its beta site in May 2007 and has grown to be the world’s largest user generated game site. Employing a web 2.0 community model YoYo Games allows users to “Play, Make and Share games” for free.
YoYo Games is providing young independent developers with the necessary tools and platform to create the games they want to play, and perhaps more importantly with an audience to play them. This can be provided free because the relationship between YoYo and its developers is symbiotic. The developers gain much needed publicity and the site benefits from a wealth of user-generated content which differentiates it from other casual gaming sites out there. Such a model is bound to encourage innovation without the traditional constraints of an “owned” title. The bumper crop of winter competition games seems to support this idea.
Recent Updates:
YoYo Games has announced its next major Dev contest. The winning titles stand to win $1,750 between them and, naturally, community kudos. The developers have been given until the 27th of April, 2008, to submit their projects.

Circos is a me-centric search engine that makes it quick and easy to find the answers you're looking for
What Company is Offering:
Circos is a me-centric search engine that makes it quick and easy to find the answers you're looking for. They call it me-centric search because they believe that search should be all about you.
How It Works:
When you search for something at Circos, you receive a personalized guide of trustworthy answers. Every answer returned receives a letter grade for your personal search criteria. You can even validate each result with the actual customer opinions that made up the grade.
How Is It Different:
Most search engines today return thousands of web pages to you – that may or may not contain the answer you need. These results are based on what's popular, not necessarily what's right for you.
Circos returns a small number of actual answers to your search requests, rather than links to Web pages that might contain an answer. They want you to search in the same way you would ask for a recommendation from a friend – with colorful descriptions.

The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the worlds content more accessible
What Company Is Offering:
The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the worlds content more accessible, interoperable and valuable via the automated generation of rich semantic metadata, the incorporation of user defined metadata, the transportation of those metadata resources throughout the content ecosystem and the extension of it’s capabilities by user-contributed components.
How it Works;
The Calais web service automatically attaches rich semantic metadata to the content you submit – in well under a second. Using natural language processing, machine learning and other methods, Calais categorizes and links your document with entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), facts (person ‘x’ works for company ‘y’), and events (person ‘z’ was appointed chairman of company ‘y’ on date ‘x’). The metadata results are stored centrally and returned to you as industry-standard RDF constructs accompanied by a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). Using the Calais GUID, any downstream consumer is able to retrieve this metadata via a simple call to Calais.
This metadata gives you the ability to build maps (or graphs or networks) linking documents to people to companies to places to products to events to geographies to … whatever. You can use those maps to improve site navigation, provide contextual syndication, tag and organize your content, create structured folksonomies, filter and de-duplicate news feeds or analyze content to see if it contains what you care about. And, you can share those maps with anyone else in the content ecosystem.
Calais provides automation of rich semantic metadata generation, incorporation of user-developed metadata, transportation of metadata throughout the content ecosystem and extension by allowing users to build new metadata generation capabilities.
The web service is free for commercial and non-commercial use.

Peer To Peer Lending For Students
What Company Is Offering:
Fynanz has created an innovative marketplace where students can get one of the most competitive rates on private student loans. Students apply for a loan and it is funded by individual lenders – friends, family, alumni and others who believe what we believe – Education is the Best Investment!
Students: Receive the most competitive rate on your private student loans and save thousands in interest paid. You specify the rate, you control the process.
Parents: Help support your child’s education by funding a portion of your child’s loan and getting them the most competitive rates possible.
A private student loan where students receive competitive borrowing rates and lenders receive attractive long term rates on money lent.
Lenders: Receive an attractive interest rate over the long term while simultaneously performing a social good by building and improving the future of many students.
How It Works:
Fynanz is a community where a person can borrow and lend money, avoid traditional banks and receive better returns. Lenders are an important part of the Fynanz community. You not only finance loans and get attractive returns, but also help give students the most competitive interest rates.
Loans made through Fynanz will have the same loan terms as many other private student loans – between 10 to 25 years. For lenders this means you get more interest over the life of the loans and benefit for years to come. When you lend through Fynanz you also perform a social good. Lenders can get a healthy return on the loans made while knowing they are building and improving the future of many students.
Applying for and receiving a Fynanz OpenLoan is a simple and transparent process - fill out an application, set up a personal page and you're on your way. Best of all, you are in control of the process and aware of what's happening at every step.

What Company Is Offering:
UBZ2.com is a social networking portal that provides sports and team activities management while providing the most comprehensive “schedule” data set on the Internet. Noted Boston businessman John Atwood provided funding for the fledging network. Mr. Atwood invested in UBZ2.com on the heals of selling the world’s largest Harley-Davidson Dealership, Boston Harley-Davidson. He said of his investment in UBZ2.com “everywhere I looked; newspaper, magazines, and a little Internet searching all were saying social networking is a high growth mass market”.
How It Works:
UBZ2.com is much more than a social networking portal. It also provides its users powerful “publishing” tools, streaming content and direct sales of products commonly purchased for the sports and activities it supports. UBZ2 will employ desktop, TV and mobile delivery avenues. Mr. Fox concludes “there is a buzz going on that’s coming from our busy bee UBZ2, look for more exciting developments and news as we gain traction”.
UBZ2.com also renewed their cooperative agreement with YouSpeak Network Inc., of Tampa, Florida. YouSpeak is integrating their voice messaging and broadcast services into UBZ2.com, initially branded as “Coaches Announcement”. Bill Bledsoe, President of YouSpeak says of their agreement “the market has matured to our offerings. YouSpeak products will shine with UBZ2.com’s introduction to the mass market”.
