Blekko Aims to Slash Away Shady Search Results

Richard Adhikari

Blekko, a new search engine that launched in beta Monday, uses a wiki- like model to deliver results. Volunteers work to categorize the Web by creating slashtags for topics and weeding out malware and spam sites. For searches that don't fall within a slashtag category, Blekko uses its proprietary ranking algorithms to deliver relevant results from its Web crawl, which covers 3 billion pages.

In tonight's Newsnight

============================================================
NEWSNIGHT - Monday 1 November 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two
============================================================

------------------------------------------------------------
Presented by Gavin Esler & Emily Maitlis
------------------------------------------------------------

It's always a joy to see Michael Crick" the prime minister somewhat
unconvincingly told the Commons today, as he expressed regret about
describing a BBC licence fee freeze as "delicious" when
he spoke
to our political editor on Friday's programme.

For unbounded joy then the PM should tune in tonight when Michael will
have the latest on the political row surrounding the use of control
orders.

The government had been expected to scrap the orders which are part of
counter-terrorism legislation introduced in 2005 and restrict the
freedoms of terrorist suspects.

Now there are indications that they might be maintained causing a major
rift within the coalition government. The former Liberal Democrat leader
Ming Campbell will debate with Tory MP Patrick Mercer.

Home Secretary Theresa May has made a statement to the House on the
discovery of a US-bound bomb at East Midlands airport last week. The
package, sent from Yemen, contained the explosive device PETN - an
odourless, colourless powder - pushed into printer toner cartridges.

Initial tests did not pick up the explosive; it was only in the second
search that the bomb was found. Theresa May announced that air freight
from Yemen and Somalia is now to be suspended and that carrying large
printer toner cartridges will be prohibited.

Tonight our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban will consider if there are
security loopholes in the international freight business and consider if
proposed measures to increase security would be possible to enforce.

Then we have a film from Peter Marshall who is in Florida to assess the
impact of the Tea Party movement there ahead of tomorrow's mid-term
elections. And we'll debate how divisive the campaign has been and how
divided the US now is.

Gavin is in London and Emily is in Washington this evening - join them
at 10.30pm on BBC Two.

Today's Story Highlights

E-Commerce Evolution: Beyond Traditional Search
If you're responsible for supporting product sales through the retail
channel for your client, there is no doubt you're experienced in search
engine optimization, search engine marketing, keywords, SERPs, ad
banners, click-through rates and more. Most search activities involve
either driving a consumer to the manufacturer's site or to the retail
site where the product is sold.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71144.html

Helping Those Who Help Themselves
Online consumers are more demanding than ever. They have little, if any,
tolerance for website issues, poor site design or longer-than-necessary
processes. For organizations with e-commerce channels, this leaves
little margin for error. In fact, research indicates that when saddled
with an unsatisfying online experience, visitors are likely to abandon
their transactions and take their business elsewhere.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71147.html

Lighting the Fuse for an Enterprise FOSS Explosion
The Fuse family of software is now under the FuseSource name and has
gained new autonomy from Progress Software with its own corporate
identity. Part of the IONA Technologies acquisition by Progress Software
in 2008, FuseSource has now become its own company, owned by Progress,
but now more independent, to aggressively pursue its open source
business model and to leverage the community development process
strengths.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71111.html

Microsoft Gets Its Shine Back in Q1
Microsoft reported strong revenue and solid earnings Thursday, with
particular strength in Windows sales during its first fiscal quarter
ending September 30. Revenue set a Q1 record of $16.20 billion, up 25
percent year-over-year. Net income was a healthy $5.41 billion. Office
2010, Windows 7 and Xbox 360 consoles and games all spurred growth, the
company said.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71143.html

The Trouble With IT
There is no doubt that the complexity of managing IT continues to grow.
Transaction volumes are ever-growing, applications are interwoven with
Web services, and workers are adopting the newest mobile devices-du-
jour. The impact of social media and the Web continues to vex IT
security managers. Then there's the case of enterprise software, which
runs the business.

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's Head Is in the Clouds
It was pretty much all about the cloud at Microsoft's Professional
Developers Conference, held last week at its Redmond, Wash., corporate
campus. CEO Steve Ballmer and other executives spoke about how the
software giant's latest developments span the PC, the mobile phone and
the cloud. They also highlighted the revamp of Windows Azure as a PaaS
offering, pushing it as a next-generation operating system.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71146.html

Oracle's Masterful Political Obfuscation Strategy Against HP
This may be election week, but the big political battle isn't really the
mid-term elections -- it's the drama going on between Oracle and HP with
the unprecedented action of Oracle's CEO and founder calling HP's new
CEO a thief in what appears to be a massive pre-emptive effort to
discredit the man. However, like the elections, I think this is mostly
smoke to cover up other problems Oracle has.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71140.html

Ubuntu's Game-Changing Quest for 'Unity'
Human beings are creatures of habit, it seems safe to say, and tend to
have a hard time embracing change. So it has been no great surprise to
see the widespread shock and dismay -- mixed, still, with considerable
excitement -- over the decision to make Unity the next desktop Ubuntu's
default interface.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71145.html

A Classical Music Lesson That Hits All the Right Notes
My knowledge of classical music wouldn't fill a thimble so a program
like Sounds of the Orchestra is a perfect fit for me. It's designed for
kids -- and folks like me -- as a fun tool for learning about the
instruments in a philharmonic orchestra. The software is built around
three modules: Play, Learn and Listen.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71139.html

A Nexus Two Smartphone From Samsung? Fuhgeddaboutit!
Samsung is reported to be working on the Google Nexus Two smartphone
that will run Gingerbread, the latest version of the Android operating
system. The buzz is that Samsung will unveil the phone at a press
conference it called for Nov.8. However, Samsung's website indicates it
will debut the Focus, a Windows Phone 7 handset, on that date.
