Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 2

Yahoo vs. Google

It is always interesting to compare the results. While I expect the results to converge on the topic over time, it seems that we are still in the early stage in this discussion.

What is particularly interesting is to see Yahoo seems to list more news outlet as a key term than Google. On the other hand, the ranking of the news outlet is different between the two.

Notes, Technical and Otherwise

I was having some technical difficult generating data from Microsoft's Live Search. Hope to get it fixed in time for next week's queries.

A reminder, if you are interested in finding out more about the result details or the inference engine, please let me know at yfjuan (at) parc (dot) com.

Update: 2009-06-03
Thanks to the technology team, Microsoft results were collected and added to this list.
