I think this is a great improvement on all aspects of both the original picture and your replacement, except for one crucial point: It's a single word. Although there's a good mix of media, it's visually strong and easily-intelligible, I think the nicest thing about the 'Utah Snowboarding' was it subtly demonstrated the advanced searching capabilities. Also, for purposes of sheer pedantry, it should really be 'Venice' not 'venice' - I know Beagle it self is case-insensitive but I think it makes it look less professional if you have an 'error' like that on the front page.Let me know what you think, its a search for venice, there are pictures of venice and e-mails about a flight to venice. And an essay about Europe. The results seem more intelligible, and to top it off, I think I hit the theming a little better this time as well.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Ok, a follow up on my follow up e-mail. I uploaded a new one, address most of the major issues. At least no more winces maybe... Let me know what you think, its a search for venice, there are pictures of venice and e-mails about a flight to venice. And an essay about Europe. The results seem more intelligible, and to top it off, I think I hit the theming a little better this time as well. By the way, its been a long time since we publicized beagle big, I don't think its just now the right time to start doing that, but were getting close. So, if anyone wants to play the unwitting guest appearance on a screencast showing off some cool live query stuff. Let me know, since I've been meaning to another screencast for a long time. - -Kevin Kubasik Joe Shaw wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, 2006-11-05 at 13:49 +0000, Carl van Tonder wrote: >> I think the main advantages of the "Utah Snowboarding" search was that >> it was a non-technical search that was easily comprehensible, and had >> a 'cool' picture as the first results; all things that, whilst it is a >> very nice and current picture, the new screen-shot does not have.
