Luyi Chen’s blog

But not very impressing really. Here are some complaints:

1. The Join button in the invitation mail doesn’t work in firefox.
2. I have to change the setting to US to finish the transfer.
3. I doesn’t like the frame style UI.

To be fair, there are also some good points. The speed is OK. And lots of good features I haven’t tried, for example the drag & drop. But this is not my main mail box, there’s not many emails to try.

And there will be some invitation available soon. So if you are interested, prepare your hotmail account.

114 is going to be Voice Google. 114 used to be a telephone number yellowpage. Now they are changing the strategy to more general information besides telephone numbers.

They are going to sell ads too. It should work like this. When you ask for hotel information around specific location. Which hotel 114 should recommend to you? The most paied one of course. Will you mind to get advertise information in this occasion? Probably it’s better than none.

Surely if this service is successful. We will see Google Adwords in the result.

I have noticed personalization feature of TailRank is hidden for some time. The personalization feature used to be called local view in this service. In my early days trying this service, local view is my start page of the site. It’s in this address:

http://tailrank.com/posts/depth/local

As of this writing, the link is still work, but hidden from the homepage.

Why tailrank is doing this? Is this the performace issue? I do feel tailrank a bit lag in early days. And another personalized search engine Searchfox seems never out of beta because of scaling problem.

With IP keyword in MSN search, you can find all the websites hosted on the same IP address. For example, do this search in MSN search [ip:210.52.223.105]. This is my blog’s IP, and you can find these websites hosted on the same IP.

There’re more sites. Hi neighbors!

There should be other method to do this thing, but this feature makes it much easier. I don’t know if we can do this in other search engines.

Seems searchfox is to shutdown. They have noticed users to backup their OPML list.

I haven’t used searchfox for several weeks, because I am not sure how much value I will get from this posts resorting by personalized ranking. To be honest, it doesn’t make muck easier to go through the feeds.

The official blog hasn’t updated for a long time. I used to expect there would be some big annoucement.
