True Knowledge Invites Giveaway

Have you heard about True Knowledge? To put it simply, True Knowledge is a search engine that aims to fulfil some gaps and inadequacies found in current search engines.

True Knowledge aims to fulfill a longstanding internet industry goal – providing consumers with instant answers to complex questions in a single click. To achieve this, users can add knowledge into the True Knowledge engine by going through a complicated process where the True Knowledge engine gets to better understand the content and thus helps it to show better answers.

For a comparison, here is the result returned by both the True Knowledge engine and the Google Search engine after searching for “Who wrote the novel Oliver Twist”.

Results returned by the True Knowledge engine:

See how True Knowledge returns the results? It makes searching for known facts easier as it directly returns the answer along with a standard search technology results.

True Knowledge returns both results based on it’s own engine and a standard search engine. When it’s own engine doesn’t or can’t return anything, it then totally relies on a standard web search. Users can endorse or contradict results returned by the True Knowledge engine, this is supposedly done so that answers and results returned are more accurate.

Results returned by the Google Search engine:

Although the results returned by Google Search engine will eventually help you find the answer you are looking for, it’s a case of searching again and again. Like reading though the content in the websites in the results returned.

Can you see the comparison and difference between results returned by both the Google Search engine and the True Knowledge engine? Quite noticeable isn’t it? Yes it is.

True Knowledge users have the ability to add information into the True Knowledge engine. As I mentioned earlier on, the process is very complex, needing the person who enters it in to enter a lot of fields and data about a fact or knowledge he wants to add into the engine. I tried entering some simple information and knowledge about myself under “David Koh”, and when trying to fill up facts about myself, I had to fill up so many other fields that had not been defined yet. Yes, I know what I’m trying to say here sounds really confusing, but just take my word on it that when trying to enter data and information into the True Knowledge engine is complex at best. Hopefully in the near future it’ll be much more easier.

The True Knowledge engine is a work in progress, and it heavily relies on information and knowledge added by users and people. As this is the case, the quality of the results returned by the True Knowledge engine will be increasing steadily. One downside of relying heavily on user added knowledge is that for now, there is just too little knowledge to e able to replace Google in my daily uses. Maybe in the near future it’ll be able to be one of the top search engines used by people. Maybe

I was recently given 20 invites to True Knowledge which I’ll be giving to visitors and readers of Drett to preview this new technology that might be the future of internet search technology. To get one, please leave a comment with your email address and reasons why you think you should receive a True Knowledge invitation. Remember, it’s a first come first served basis, so do hurry .

Aviary Invites Giveaway

Here’s a short review of Aviary with the instructions on how to get invites from me at the end

 I recently received an invitation from Aviary, which is currently invite-only, to sign up. Currently my account has only been granted access to Phoenix, a web-based image editor and Peacock, a pattern generator, but from playing around with this 2 tools, I honestly believe that Aviary has something big going on here.

Aviary is a rich suite of internet applications geared for artist and designers from all genres. From image editing to typography to 3D to video and even a digital content marketplace, they have a tool for nearly everything. Aviary is trying to create a complex ecosystem for artists and designers by providing everything they need, right up from creating and designing it to selling it in their marketplace.

All of the tools in Aviary runs in an internet browser or as downloadable AIR applications.

Out of the 2 tools which I had been granted access to, I have used Phoenix more and am really impressed with what the Aviary team here managed to do. Phoenix has nearly everything you would expect a full-fledged desktop-base image editor to have, the only difference is that Phoenix is web-based and runs in your internet browser.

See how similar it is to Photoshop?

Within minutes and without any tutorials or needing to refer to any help manual, I came up with a simple design. You can import images into Phoenix to edit it, and then after that save it back into your computer in the few more popular file formats. As Phoenix is boasts nearly the same amount of features as other full-fledge image editing program, one can do many things with Phoenix after getting to know it well. I have seen some really spectacular images that other users have managed to create through Phoenix alone.

There are still a bit of bugs here and there but I’m sure that those things can be iron out fairly soon, and once it’s done, Aviary will be an indispensable tool for all artists and designers.

I have a couple of invitations with me and have decided to give it away to readers who want to sign up. I have very few invitations with me now, so it’s a first come first serve basis. As usual, post a comment with you email address and state the reasons you want this invitation.

Enjoy
