Blekko Search Gets More Social

Redwood Shores, Calif. (PRWEB) April 21, 2011

Blekko, the new search engine that uses human curation to eliminate spam from search results, announced today that it has made search even more social with the integration of Facebook Comments to its search results pages.


Blekkos integration of Facebook Comments is revolutionizing the way people search by merging trusted search results with the growing trend of sharing breaking news, opinions, insight and updates through social comments continuously and in real-time. With this integration, people who login to blekko with Facebook can use Facebook Comments to communicate directly with their friends when searching for information.


Now when searching on blekko, the results page will combine the best quality results from the Web with the top related comments that the individuals friends and social network have posted. Additionally, people who use blekko can choose to add the slashtag /facebook to any search query and see all results from their entire Facebook news stream.


The Web is increasingly a social experience and search has got to get more social too, said, Rich Skrenta, CEO of blekko. Integrating Facebook Comments brings the social graph and social commentary right to the results page. Because what your friend says about information is as important as any experts advice could ever be.


Earlier this year, blekko announced it leveraged Facebook Likes as a way to help create a more trusted and social search experience. People who login to blekko with Facebook can see whether or not their Facebook friends Like particular search results or can choose to search only sites that are Liked by friends.


Blekko launched in November promising to create a new kind of search experience that would enlist human editors in its effort to eliminate spam and personalize search. Since then, the company has taken dramatic steps to clean up the swampy Web and change the search experience.


About Blekko

Blekko was founded in 2007 to pursue innovation in search. The company has raised $ 24 million since its founding in 2007 from US Venture Partners and CMEA Capital, as well as leading angel investors including Ron Conway, Mike Maples, Jeff Clavier, and Marc Andreessen. Blekko has 25 employees, including former Google and Yahoo! Search engineers.

Beverly Hills Doctor Prescribes More Power to the Penis for Valentines Day

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2010

Dr. Dudley Seth Danoff positively knows penises after all hes seen over two hundred thousand in his long career as a respected Beverly Hills urologist - but its his war on negative penis personalities that could raise more then a few heads this Valentines Day. Dr. Danoff is the author of Penis Power, a ground-breaking book offering a close-up and candid look at what late-night commercials carefully call that certain part of the male anatomy but what Dr. Danoff unblushingly proclaims as, well, the penis.


Not even buttocks and breasts come close to the number of monikers weve given the penis, states Dr. Danoff. I list over fifty nicknames in my book and that doesnt include the steady stream of personalized penis names given by the men and their partners. Robin Williams, for example, has referred to his as Mr. Happy in his stand-up routine, the late President Lyndon Johnson labeled his Jumbo, and when the King of Rock n Roll left the building, you can be certain Little Elvis always left with him.


Penis Power could easily be described as the everyday mans manual for the penis, as it provides a wealth of health information about male sexuality and physiology while devoting important chapters to urologic diseases men potentially face as well. Chapter Two, Penis Personalities, is literally the most graphic, however, as the author enlists the aid of an entertainingly expressive penis-shaped cartoon to morph from one personality to another, playfully presenting what Dr. Danoff advocates as the best medication-free cure for the often relationship-shattering affliction known as erectile dysfunction - love.


Ive seen over two hundred thousand patient-penises and after talking to the men attached to them discovered an increasing number who were suffering from what I call penis weakness, explains Dr. Danoff and continues, We are what we think we are and although the penis doesnt have a mind of its own, its definitely a mind reader. I believe that up to ninety-percent of those challenged with erectile dysfunction could be cured without surgery and without medication but, instead, with a thoughtful strengthening of the patients penis personality.


According to Dr. Danoff, various weak or negative penis personalities work separately or collectively to bring on various degrees of erectile dysfunction (ED) while positive penis personalities fan the fires for more successful and satisfying love-making experiences.


If a mans partner offends them, no matter how hard they try to conceal their hurt feelings, that mans penis will act offended. explains Dr. Danoff. But if a mans partner adores them, flatters them, and wants them, that same mans penis will respond positively. Thats why I say in my book that the greatest aphrodisiac and ally of penis power is love itself. If couples want to give their partner the ultimate Valentines Day gift that will keep on giving in a big way even after the holiday, then sharing the Penis Personality descriptions could be the perfect prescription.


Dr. Danoff selected the following three Positive Penis Personalities among the many which are also available at the books website http://www.penispowerworldwide.com in the hopes of helping all couples - ED-challenged or not - enjoy the power of love this Valentines Day and beyond.


The Purposeful Penis Personality approaches sex with his partners satisfaction as his highest priority. He studies his partners behavior, learns the nuanced intricacies of their desires and applies his experience and skills to the fulfillment of that desire. The Purposeful Penis is a great student of love. He is thorough in his self education and applies all that he has learned to the specific needs of his lover. His knowledge is always balanced by an educated sensitivity.

The Poetic Penis Personality has a thoughtful and imaginative sensibility. He speaks a language of love filled with deep thought, feeling, and life experience. This lover is sensitive to the needs of his partner. He makes every experience a romantic tour de force. He knows how to cajole his partner using the right words or actions. He always means what he says and does. He makes love like a dancer, with poetry and precision in his every movement.

The Passionate Penis Personality - Rhett Butler and Prince Charming or George Clooney and Brad Pitt are this gentlemans role models. Hes a lovers lover with boundless enthusiasm for life. Emotional, ardent, and lusty, he likes grand gestures and noble statements. He sends bouquets. He showers his lover with compliments. He waxes poetic. He dances cheek to cheek, and he always means it.

I wrote Penis Power as a must-read manual for the penis and to help men bring the power of their penis to its full potential for their lovers. But I have never met a woman who did not want to maximize the penis power of the man in her life. states Dr. Danoff. Its my sincere hope that both men and women will visit http://www.penispowerworldwide.com to learn more about the book and the penis so that each can fully appreciate the power they hold in achieving the utmost satisfaction from their partner.

Need to Learn More Patience? WinWinApps Launches an App for That

Burlington, VT (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

Most people would agree, Patience is a virtue, and most would probably also agree that its a virtue they need to work on. But developing a patient attitude in challenging situations is a life skill that takes time and conscious effort to fully develop. WinWinApps unveils Patience an iPhone and iPad app designed to help individuals test and develop their patience.


The app offers users a fun and interactive way to become more aware of their general level of patience in situations that they specifically find frustrating and challenging. Heres how it works:


Once the app is downloaded to the device, users who run into a situation in which they need to exercise patience open the app and are prompted to enter the patience-testing situation they currently find themselves facing. The home screen of the app keeps track of current and past situations, and summarizes a history of successes and failures.

Users answer the phrase and question, There is something you want to do now, but you know you should wait. What is it?

Patience then asks, How long can you wait? Users enter the amount of time they think they can successfully hold out from a few minutes to days. At this point, the apps Make me work harder function can be turned on to increase the amount of time the user must wait by adding anywhere from one to 30 percent more time to the goal.

Users can also choose to turn to their social networks for support in exercising their patience. For this purpose, the app features a Share your intention function, which, when activated, allows the user to publish their activity to their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Once the action, timeframe and share parameters have been set, Patience begins a countdown. When the allocated time expires, the app prompts users to track their success or failure by asking, Your test of patience is complete. Did you make it?

Users select yes or no and Patience records the action in either the resisted or irresistible portion of the apps home screen. Successes and failures will be posted to the social networks of users that have activated the share feature.

Anna Palmer, CEO of WinWInApps, was inspired to create Patience based on her own experiences. Like so many, I struggle with impulse control. For me, sharing my intentions to hold off on devouring an entire block of cheese, for example, helps me hold myself accountable and wait until that moment has passed. Then when I succeed, I can share that small moment of victory with my friends."
