Pico reveals latent talent
' site review
Blinkx burst onto the search market with Blinkx.TV, the first video search service, last year. Now it's back with another first -- Blinkx Pico, a latent search engine. Latent search operates by monitoring your documents as you work and searching the web simultaneously. The software looks at what your writing about and displays potentially relevant material.
After a simple download (for Windows users only), a series of 12 coloured buttons form the Pico toolbar. If relevant content is available, the box will appear coloured -- such as red for news, green for a Wikipedia entry. Each button is for a different form of content, such as blogs, video, websites, images and the Myspace online community.
A magnifying glass icon allows users to carry out keyword searches by entering a term, or click on the arrow button to start a Google search.
