Warning heavy search geek content - bring caffiene While I am on the topic of patents I figured I would put up a list of the patents from the first quarter of 2008 that I found of interest. I am limiting the list to the Big 3 for the moment (Google, Yahoo and Microsoft). Sure, it ain’t sexy, but if yer a search freak/geek or addict, then might just be something of interest. Also on the topic of patents, it is Bill Slawski’s birthday and on behalf of all technical search junkies I want to wish him many, many more returns and best wishes for a great day today! Now here’s the list;
