Polar Rose Blog – A blog about sharing photos & other stuff that matters to us
Jalbum.net on the Polar Rose Name Tagger
Our friends at Jalbum posted a description of the Polar Rose Name Tagger service showing users how the service works. The Blog post can be found here: http://jalbum.net/blog/entry/whos-in-your-album/
Examples of the Name tagger in action can be found here: http://nikolajn.jalbum.net/familypictures/ (just click on “Name Tagger” in the widget bar that runs along the bottom of the page).
Search Wikia adds Polar Rose widget
The great team over at Search Wikia have just today released their ‘WISE’ (Wikia Intelligent Search Extensions) platform, which embeds results from other sources directly in the search results. Polar Rose is one of Search Wikia’s launch partners and you’ll find our results embedded in many searches, like the George Clooney example below.
Search Wikia has integrated Polar Rose using our JSON/JSONP API which will be launched publicly soon. We’ll also be working on tweaking the integration with Search Wikia as things evolve.
ps. While Search Wikia still has a very small share in the search market, it’s a project that we at Polar Rose feel is very important. For some background on why, read the post I did over at the O’Reilly Radar back when Search Wikia first launched back in January.
23 and Twitxr onboard
Happy times. After yesterday’s introduction of Jalbum as our initial partner we’re very exited bringing on another two great partners today.
