Morning Buzz — April 19, 2010

The always-terrific Search Engine Land has the line on eight crazy-cool unusual search engines.

Nice story in the Harvard Gazette about used and surplus Harvard lab equipment being sent to developing countries: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/04/from-lab-trash-to-treasure/.

Hmm! A new new database of university-owned patents.

NICE. A search engine for Netflix’ streaming movie options. http://instantwatcher.com/.

Wolfram|Alpha has added historical tax data.

Google has started integrating its Aardvark product in with YouTube to help answer support questions. Read the comments after the article; apparently this is not going well.

Neat! Quizify now lets you set up image identification.

I’m a bit more freaked out than I expected to be by the new standard of “website” instead of “Web site.” What’s next? “Blog” instead of “Blog post”? Good morning, Internet…
