Hi! This is Greg Lindahl, your speaker for Monday the 16th. I'm going<br>
to be talking about blekko's search engine, and I'd like to give you<br>
guys some homework to do so that I can drag informed opinions from you<br>
at the end of my talk.<br>
<br>
If you go to <a href="https://blekko.com" target="_blank">https://blekko.com</a> and run some queries, you'll see that<br>
we're trying hard to be different from Google. One way is that we use<br>
human curation -- the curation is open data! -- and the other way is<br>
that we cluster results into categories. This second feature works<br>
best with more ambiguous queries. So, your homework:<br>
<br>
* Make a couple of ambiguous but non-geeky queries, and see what you<br>
think.<br>
<br>
* Make a couple of ambiguous geeky queries, and see what you think.<br>
<br>
* And finally, make a couple of your typical geeky queries.<br>
<br>
There will be a pop quiz at the end of my talk. Thanks!<br>
