- Det här är inte namnen på några stolliga robotar i Stanislaw Lems Cyberiaden utan tre söktjänster som lanserats nyligen. Det rör sig om specialiserade söktjänster för sökning av bilder, TV/radio-inslag och data/TV-spelsinformation. Två av söktjänsterna är europeiska och har därför fått försumbar uppmärksamhet på nätet som vi alla vet är USA-centrerat och domineras av det engelska språket. Cydral är en ny fransk söktjänst för bildfiler som det skrivits lite om på franska webbplatser som Abondance och NetEconomie men vi inte sett nämnd av någon engelskspråkig trots att det finns ett engelskt gränssnitt. Med Cydral kan man söka efter bilder med utgångspunkt från bildernas egenskaper som färg, textur och form. |
