Today, Ask released a press release (http://www.irconnect.com/askjinc/pages/news_releases.html?d=75973) discussing new added features to MyJeeves (http://myjeeves.ask.com/), Ask Jeeves personalized search solution. The update includes:
-- New Ways to Add Data to MyJeeves
---- Toolbar integration allows searchers to send Web pages directly to MyJeeves using the Ask Jeeves toolbars for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The toolbars make it easy to sign into MyJeeves, save directly to a folder, save with notes and navigate directly to a particular MyJeeves folder. Users can also select portions of Web pages they want to "clip" to MyJeeves.
---- Easily import links to Web pages and images that other MyJeeves users share via email. By simply clicking "add to MyJeeves" at the bottom of email messages, users can add those links and annotations to their own MyJeeves.
---- Import Bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Firebird, and Firefox with an easy-to-use utility that maintains the folder structure of bookmarks within MyJeeves.
-- New Support for Images
---- Users can now save links to images to MyJeeves by right-clicking any image file on the Web or selecting Save on the search results page in Ask Jeeves Picture Search. Thumbnail views of images are displayed within MyJeeves for a quick preview and can be easily tagged.
--- More Robust Information Management
-- MyJeeves now supports hierarchical folders. Trees can be made up to 7 folders deep so users can organize folders and navigate through their "Personal Web" the way they want to.
-- Tag any data within MyJeeves to add a user's own searchable meta data. This is particularly useful when managing image files which have less contextual information than Web pages. Future versions of MyJeeves will enable users to sort and search by clicking these tags, which will also be shareable with others.
