I found it quite amusing that Microsoft billed Bing as a “decion-making”engine. What the hell does that even mean? It is a search enginer straight up. I can’t ask it for a movie recommendation or where I should go to eat. Sure I could ask for Thai restaurants near my location,but it is presenting me options like Yellow Pages. Urban Spoon’s application on the iPhone may be more of a decision engine than Bing is. However,now there is a real decision-engine called Hunch. You answer some questions (initially it was 20,but you can keep answering questions to build a more accurate assessment of your taste and profile) and it will try to answer questions that you may have (example above.. I already read Wired,so good choice there,and the second option was Popular Science,which I also already read). There are a lot of different questions avaialble (Can you recommend a cult or campy movie?,Should I get a Canon or a Nikkon?,etc). It’s a very interesting idea,and something I will need more time to play around with before determining if it is actually going to be useful or is just hype and will die off in a few months.
