The Music Education Blog Carnival has been a huge success on many levels. It has crated a “buzz” about becoming a blogger among music educators; it provides a semi-peer reviewed venue for posting great and useful music related posts, and also provides this information to the world free of charge. It’s a “win, win” for all parties involved.
Joel and I started the Music EducationCarnival with these intentions in mind. Now that the carnival is currently in its 5th edition, we are getting some of the particulars figured out. There is a “landing page”, as it were, for the Music Education Carnival that can be found in the tabs above at mustech.net or by going to this URL: http://mustech.net/muscarn . It’s easy to remember. Check out the cool graphic I made for the carnival too!
A number of dedicated music education experts are wanting to host the site (and have) and we are already “booked” until February of 2009!
I spent a little time last night looking for and trhorugh a number of new search engines. The following is a list of that I found that were interesting in some way (I looked at about fifty in total). I’m always looking for a way to “cut through” the useless information that is posted on the internet and from time to time, I look at what the new search engines are providing in terms of useful results to me (and for my students!). But, some of the ones I list here are also just plain fun and beautiful as well!
In the end I’m still a Google fanatic but I will use some of these from time to time as well now. I’m not going to go into any depth on these other than a short blurb. You can check them for yourselves and decide on their usefulness to you. Of all I’ve seen posted about new search engines, or unique search engines, this list is going to be one of the best -no doubt!
1. Searchme- http://searchme.com
Wow! This one is gorgeous…not a fan of what it was returning though with search input though.
2. Viewzi- http://viewzi.com
Again, Wow! This is also gorgeous and skinnable in a weird way. Some of the templates remind of the, now defunct, PageBull search engine which was also amazing! Search input results a little better than Searchme.
3. Cuil- http://www.cuil.com/
Everyone talks about it, pronounced “cool”. It looks nice, but I find its results not what I’m looking for. It does have a great interface though…
4. Tripleme- http://tripleme.com
In my opinion, ugly green and blue, but it is a pretty and very useful 3 column layout showing MSN, Google, and Yahoo results side by side.
5. Mnemomap- http://www.mnemo.org/
Interesting mindmap result type of search engine. Very accurate if you are looking for non-phrase related searches.
6. Lexxe- http://lexxe.com
Very good cluster based search engine. Pretty accurate at returning useful answers to questions and input.
7. Powerset - http://powerset.com
An excellent search engine for searching Wikipedia data. Try it you will never search Wikipedia without it again.
