From time to time we retire projects to focus on new experiments. Thank you for your interest and participation.
Thumbtack
Thumbtack was designed to simplify the process of saving and sharing photos, links, text and more. It provided a single place to save or share the stuff you want from all around the web. We were able to learn about the differences between this new experience and sending a bunch of links in an e-mail, or setting several favorites in your browser.
Web Sandbox
Modern Web pages are made up of different pieces that may be served from different locations. What happens if some of those pieces slow page performance or endanger users' personal information? Web Sandbox was created to explore the use of virtualization technology to provide an open and interoperable standard for secure web browsing.
Social Streams
Social Streams was a project to aggregate, store, and mine social media content. We were able to support a number of applications and research efforts including Political Streams, which was available during the 2008 US Presidential Election.
Entity Extraction
Entity Extraction used machine learning to identify meaningful text in documents in an attempt to turn the unstructured web into a rich set of tagged documents. It was an experiment with many ambitious goals that involved a wide variety of content types.
Deepfish
Deepfish was a mobile web browsing experience created to explore the application of zoom-able interfaces on mobile devices. It was designed to make it easier to quickly access the information you care about over the web without ever losing track of where you are.
Listas
Listas was a tool for the creation, management and sharing of lists, notes, and favorites. It enabled people to quickly and easily edit lists, share them with others for reading or wiki-style editing, and discover additional information from public lists.
