With recent discussion of why Google added then removed real time search of Twitter, it doesn't come as a suprise to know that Google have a acquired new social engine Aardvark. Aarvark allows users to ask a question as if they would a friend and the engine automatically finds the best person to answer it. It is still in beta/invite stage and I am awaiting an invite (which I am looking forward to receiving) but once I know more, I will be updating the power and scalability of this new method of search.

Everyone's talking about it so I may as well too! The iPad look sexy and I think will do the job very well. Although I'm a little confused on how I would personally use it, I think we've just potentially seen an evolution in portable computer technology.

The Yolk were asked by BusinessLink to deliver a presentation on Social Media for businesses this morning. It was based at the Forum in Norwich, Norfolk. First I've been there but a great setup for presentations. A highly recommended venue!

There will be a video of the presentation shortly. In the meantime, please see the presentation below:
