Broken Links No More?
johndoejersey writes "Students in England have developed a tool which could bring the end to broken links. Peridot, developed by UK intern students at IBM scans company weblinks and replaces outdated information with other relevant documents and links. IBM have already filed 2 patents for the project. The students said Peridot could protect companies by spotting links to sites that have been removed, or which point to wholly unsuitable content. 'Peridot could lead to a world where there are no more broken links,' James Bell, computer science student at the University of Warwick, told BBC News Online. Here is another story on it."

A team in the Netherlands built an application that listens to contact centre conversations, picks out relevant keywords and automatically prompts the call centre agent with possible answers.
Does this app take the form of a paper clip? Because that would be a great idea!
I think the link is broken... :)

Spyware/Adware and IE already give you search results and links. The only difference is that this automatically places you at a different link without a choice.
Hmmm... Pie...
Damn you slashdotters!!! I work at IBM and the intranet server is down! I can't believe you've managed to cause the automatic load-balancer to kill the intranet in favour of a slashdot article.
Damn you!!

You probably bookmark your A/C posts so you can slip back and check them. You're not fooling anyone, you know.
heh.... and what if "whitehouse.gov" for whatever reason doesn't respond ... the third thing on the list is ...
"Hey guys, we have grass roots support, check out slashdot!"
Wonder where it would send me if www.hotmail.com were down?

That's Mr. Patented Bad Idea Jeans to you! (I'm afraid to RTFA to see how trival their patents might be.)
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
