Web's Biggest Wiki Search Engine

Web's BiggestThe Web’s Biggest search engine (www.websbiggest.com) claims to search more websites than any other search engine.

Web’s Biggest lets webmasters add or revise the descriptions of their site free of charge. They even allow searchers to change the descriptions of websites they are familiar with. This lets individual searchers change everyone’s search results. The search engine stores all past descriptions of websites in a database so users can undo or correct descriptions. This makes Web’s Biggest the world’s biggest “wiki”.

A search for Google gives www.google.com as the first result, with this description: "PHP Discussion Forums... Several forums dedicated to PHP language discussion"...

Web's Biggest gives access to reviews and popularity figures via Alexa, to discussions via Google Groups. "Similar" and "Links" data are redirected to a search on Google.

New A9 Yellow Pages Include 20 Million Images

The most powerful technology A9.com invented for Yellow Pages is “Block View,” which brings the Yellow Pages to life by showing a street view of millions of businesses and their surroundings. Using trucks equipped with digital cameras, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, and proprietary software and hardware, A9.com drove tens of thousands of miles capturing images and matching them with businesses and the way they look from the street.

The whole process (except for the driving!) is completely automatic, making it fast and efficient. Block View allows users to see storefronts and virtually walk up and down the streets of currently more than 10 U.S. cities using over 20 million photographs. A9.com is driving and at some point hopes to cover the whole country....

  • Chicago
  • New York City (Manhattan)
