If you’re anything like me, you’ve got more and more files on your computer. Keeping track of exactly where you saved something can be a bit of a nightmare, even with the best folder/directory structure in the world. Well, some of the big players in the Internet Search Engine business are looking to give us the same sort of service looking for our own files on our computers.
I heard about this on BBC World’s ClickOnline Programme. (Thanks to my sister Julia in Cardiff for pointing me towards this.) There’s a bit of software called Blinkz that’s in beta at the moment. Other big search engine players are developing there own. You can watch the broadcast or read the transcirpt at:
