snap in beta is one i am playing around a little bit, well, because i got a hint some time ago. still i have problems to use it on my os machine both with safari and mozilla. results are sortable by page views, cost to advertisers: apparently something to impress the ad world. ok, i can resort within and do some other stuff, but actually i don't get the clue of its speciality. wait and see or wait until it gets bought? lately investors interests are high on search tools - or as danny sullivan calls it on consumer search. also the news of last week didn't hit too big when yahoo announced its relationship with ms and philips. the jump on the patent wagon here and there in recent years already left a flavor of getting ready.

the BIG update on antville.org to antville 1.1 is around the corner. to let it happen smooth and cozy take a look and help out with your response. what i have heard whispering, it's worth a close look.

goodies: share your layout, improved referrers / backlinks spam filter, e-mail notification feature improved membership management and more ...

to get your 5 senses together. that's what the cnn en español version somehow tries to tell (via oficina). others tell the story less dramatical, still it sounds absurd:

Telecommunications equipment maker Let's Corp. and satellite radio station Music Bird said Friday they have developed technology for making natural flowers vibrate to create musical sounds. The system, comprising an amplifier, vase and an acrylic resin cylinder, makes flowers' petals and leaves vibrate and transmit sounds, just as the paper cones of stereo speakers vibrate, the two said. They said they will put the system on the market possibly in August. The system has a machine inside the vase that creates minute vibrations, which are then transmitted to flowers via the acrylic tube. The resulting vibrations of the flowers create sounds. (infobeat)
