Google Idea: Eureka!

Here's an idea.

It's all about the "search" for information, right? Well, Google knows what I'm searching for, and they know which links I'm clicking on.

If I go to a webpage and don't find the answer, chances are I'm going to search again.

The website which has the answer I'm looking for will likely be the last one I click on during the last time I search for those terms.

Over time, and with a lot of data, they could correlate search terms with websites based upon which ones caused people to stop searching, and raise their rankings.

They could also see which sites caused people to search again, and lower their rankings.

The feature could be called Eureka! (aka "I have found it!")

one of the all-time greatest.

Thanks Mr. Miner!

Geographic Annotated Lyrics

Tea Leaf Green's Annotated Songs got a heady upgrade this week with the inclusion of custom Google Maps.

How many songs are there in the world which evoke the sense of traveling across the country from town to town, written by artists shoving themselves in a bus and carrying their music on the back.

You can check out the initial implementation for the song Let Us Go which happens to open their latest album, Raise up the Tent.



Nice work DGold!

Wilco Song Requester

We're doing a ticket giveaway contest at JamBase for Wilco's summer tour, and while I was enjoying the link to our site from Wilco's homepage, I noticed another link for "NOW TAKING REQUESTS FOR UPCOMING DATES"

Curiously thinking this would take me to their booking agent's page where I could arrange for the band to play my town, I was pleasantly surprised to find a song request form, along with which show I'd be attending.



This is a cool way to engage the audience, collect email addresses (although no opt-in) and get people to be part of the process.

Bravo Wilco!

My suggestion: Either Way
