Interesting how Boston.com re-tooled it’s middling search system. It began as a search tool for the entire website but did not return much in usage on investment. They then turned it loose on articles, providing related and extra content on-page. This worked much better for users. Part of the learning was that people want to and will continue to use Google.com for search, not your own website’s search.

Layar 3.0 augmented reality is out and it adds 3D objects and POI-to-POI features. The 3D objects can be 2D planes aligned in 3D space, perfect for art galleries I’d think. POI-to-POI would be useful for tours, directions and such. And some examples.

Muzu.tv partners with The O2 (London.) One of the better deals Muzu has made I think.

Johnjoe!

Playdar really is rather interesting. Described as a “music resolver” it allows you to search for music across linked resolvers. A resolver can run on your laptop, your desktop, your server-in-the-cupboard, a mobile phone, and then, more interestingly, websites on the net. Any website can implement a Playdar resolver and become a provider of music to your search. The code comes from the man who invented audioscrobbler for Last.fm. Playlick is a good demonstration of it all. It queries my Last.fm account for all the music I’ve listened too over the years. You then run resolvers, or connect to resolvers, which provide the actual music to my Last.fm list.
