oSkope is a new visual search engine for finding products which allows you to search Amazon, eBay, Flickr, and YouTube and displays relevant images that can be viewed in a variety of ways: Grid, Stack Pile, Graph and List. Each of them provides differnet oportunity how to browse items you are looking for.

When choosing "graph", and searching for “Canon” Oskope places items on a two-axis graph, with the x axis representing an item’s eBay´s auction duration, and the y axis representing its price. In case of Flickr the x axis represents date line, and the y axis represents numbers of photos added.

Oskope also provides the information of products, of authors of photos when clicking on particular picture provided after searching for some keyword.

Musgle

Musgle is a search engine which helps you to find music you are looking for. It originates from the idea of combining words Music and Google. To see how it works, just type a song title, or the artist name, or both in a search bar and click on enter. You will soon be redirected to Google page with relevant search results. After clicking on result you find interesting, you´ll have a chance to directly download the song you are searching for.

Musgle uses Advanced Google Search Operators to find music according to keywords you type in search box.

Code it generates for you looks like this (obstacle 1 is a name of song by interpol):

-inurl:(htm|html|php|shtml|asp|jsp|pls|txt|aspx|jspx) intitle:index.of "last modified" description size (wma|mp3|wav|ogg|avi|divx|mpeg) "obstacle 1"

Well, who would type it manually. And it really works!

Arcade Fire playing with Wild Light

Montreal septet Arcade Fire continue to tour in support of latest album, Neon Bible. On November 10th, they will apperar at Gasometer in Vienna. It wasn´t known who are they going to play with but now it´s obvious that it won´t be Les Savy Fav, LCD Soundsystem or Blonde Redhead but rock, pop, indie band Wild Light. Haven´t heard of them before? I haven´t.

They come from US, from New Hampshire. Band members are Seth Pitman, Seth Kasper, Timothy Kyle and Jordan Alexander. They sound good, you can listen to their songs at MySpace. I´m sure, that AF Fans will like them.
