Here is a round up of news from around the web:
- Bing adds price recognition to its query support. You can now search for "digital camera under $200" and it will automatically add the price filter. It is a good step in the right direction. How about something a bit harder? "Canon 12 MP Camera under $200" with the manufacturer and megapixel attribute restrictions.
- Google announced the public release of the Dataset Publishing Language (DSPL), a representation language for the data and metadata of datasets.
We created this format to address a key problem in the Public Data Explorer and other, similar tools, namely, that existing data formats don’t provide enough information to support easy yet powerful data exploration by non-technical users.
- Yahoo! announced the Yahoo! Search Boss v2.0 API for the new Bing based search.
- Congressmen beats Watson in a round of Jeopardy.
- Scala tip: Check out REPL for interactive debugging.
Bing's price search is a handy tool especially if you are using a Windows or Nokia phone that has a built in Bing search engine. It is useful for fast price results.
