Yahoo! Ideological Search

Yahoo! brings Truthiness to web search with the Ideological Search Engine. Filter the web through the blinders of either political view.

My take: Funny and surprisingly useful.

Google CADIE 

Google introduced CADIE, the world’s first Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity.  

My take: Sorta funny-ish but takes a lot of reading. I’ll give it to ’em for being thorough—on top of CADIE’s Blog and YouTube channel, there’s GMail, Google Docs, and Google Code. Talk about geeking out.
