Yesterday, Pluggd and CNet unveiled our HearHere search capability over a sampling of popular ZDnet shows.
It’s exciting, because this is the first time people are able to search within media using a heatmap experience.
Before this, users had two choices: full meal deal or get up from the table.

We’re excited to be mentioned in a story in the Economist today about
speech recognition. The article does a good job of surveying the space, but

Like the Patriots? Fire up the [...]
Pluggd’s HearHere allows people to jump to the exact position in audio or video, such as podcasts and video casts, where there is something they want to hear. People have come to expect this instant return with web pages, but up until now audio and video have failed to deliver the same searchability. Now, you [...]
