I have pretty substantial experience with search engines; and like you, use them everyday to find relevant content. I first heard about this new search engine called LeapFish a few months ago when I met Lena Shaw at the first Silicon Valley Tweetup. Leapfish is also sponsoring the upcoming Tweetup this Wednesday at the Hotel Valencia. What I dig about Leapfish is that you can pretty much find every piece of content related to any specific search query. You can search Google, Yahoo, MSN and it also aggregates the top news from the AP, Youtube videos, Twitter trending topics, weather, etc. on the home page. As usual, I did a search for "Michael Brito" and was delighted to see the common results I usually see when I Google myself; but also on the same page without any additional clicks I was able to see blog mentions, videos and images. It's definitely a time saver and it has a clean interface. What I would love to see and I am sure they are working on this as we speak is a the aggregation of twitter search, foursquare, Yelp and other social tools. Customization would also make LeapFish stand out from rest. source:http://www.britopian.com/2009/09/20/leapfish-search-engine-is-quite-impressive/

The arguments that blogs are dead usually center around several key points. 1. The growth of high-traffic, high-profile, multi-author blogs destroys any hope for the average individual blogger to be discovered and gain any meaningful audience. 2. Newer forms of social media, like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr make the need for personal blogs obsolete. 3. The never-ending comment spam, coupled with comments from obnoxious readers, simply require too much energy and time. These observations are completely accurate based on my experience with blogs and the Internet.

Real time search results will prove useful during situations when people need updated information constantly, and aggregate them from various sources.

This is a potentially huge boost to any e-learning program that relies heavily on video lecture content.  We know that just watching a lecture is a dull chore (unless the lecturer is a master broadcaster).  We also know that shorter, on point clips from a lecture would be highly effective when presented in the context of meaningful response activities.  This is where reelsurfer might fit.  They promise to make your video library searchable and provide the tech to clip the elements you want to promote for study or for marketing.  Lots of built in links to social media make this easy.  30- Day free trial.  Could be a way to leverage a large archive of lecture tapes into something suitable for finely designed online learning.
