roundup for 2007-01-16 … WikiSeek / Scrybe / Joost

Posted on | January 16, 2007 | No Comments

launched today, WikiSeek is a vertical search-engine indexing only pages within the Wikipedia-domain(s), plus sites which are linked from within Wikipedia-pages (an attempt to minimize spam-results and deliver better results than Wikipedia itself). Search Engine Land thinks it’s poorly implemented.

remember Scrybe, the pretty-much-hyped Flash-based online-calendar/PIM with offline-capabilities, which went into pretty-private beta a few months back? few days ago, the Scrybe-blog announced phase 2 of their beta, mainly adding ThoughtPad, a web-based clipboard-feature. beta-accounts still seem to be kept scarce artificially, and while I received my invitation today, I wasn’t able to complete the sign-up process…

the on-demand IPTV-venture formerly known as the Venice Project, put down its project-name and is from now on called Joost. however, it’s still Windows-only and remains in private beta.
