Okay, so I enjoy all the madness of awards season. Who doesn’t? Anyways, I tuned in for the Golden Globes which is not as staid as the Oscars and rumor has it that the Globes is a pretty good indication of which way Oscar will nod his golden head.

There was a lot of love granted to the little movie Slum Dog Millionaire, an unexpected sleeper hit, which won Best Original Score, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Motion Picture Drama. Heath Ledger won posthumously Best Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role In A Motion Picture and big, big surprise Mickey back from the dead Rourke won Best Actor In A Motion Picture beating out high rollers like Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio, who by the way can’t seem to get any love at any awards show. Go figure. On the other hand, Kate Winslet won both awards she was nominated for, Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. Colin Farrell waxed poetic during his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Who knew? Miss Jolie’s gut wrenching performance in The Changeling was overlooked, but I’m not suprised as we all know she can deliver those emotions that are not easy to tap into on screen. Maybe the Hollywood Foreign Press is bored with the same old stuff. Maybe Mrs. Pitt should do a comedy next? Anyways, awards panels can be fickle and time and again we see the favorites overlooked for those performances which somehow slide under the radar of public notice but obviously resonate with awards judges.
Wall-E won a well deserved Best Animated Feature Film Award and Steven Spielberg’s exonerated film career was honored with the esteemed Cecil B. DeMille Award. All in all, a good awards show, but I am, however, disappointed that Benjamin Button didn’t win, or Brad Pitt or Angie J. However, I loved WALL-E and Colin Farrell so I will check out In Bruges. I guess I need to go see Slum Dog Millionaire , too, so I can decide if it was deserving of an Oscar or not if it should win one.

The future of neutral, intelligent search capability is here. Enter Worio, the cutting edge new search engine for people who want to know more. Say goodbye to searches that are tailor made by the status quo and say hello to a mind broadening experience. This engine operates on code so advanced that this new search tool had the brains of the Silicon Valley really taking notice. Worio is a search engine driven by a sophisticated platform of free thought performance and brings a whole new meaning to the term artificial intelligence. It is a search engine that enhances the particular information quest, learning with every search it makes and using its “brain” when gathering and foraging for answers. Not ruled by keyword searches, Worio delivers a search that is at once both what you wanted to find and what you might like. In addition to the power of Worio, you can also use other popular search engines right from within Worio’s page, which adds to the help you can get when searching the cyber universe. It’s as if Worio is saying, “I’m here to help you in any way possible.”

Worio
This is truly an example of artificial intelligence working for you, getting to know what you like and acting as a research assistant and a virtual field guide with the ability to hunt down niches off the beaten path you might never have explored otherwise. You can rest assured, Worio can only boost your quest for knowledge.
Other elements of Worio is its archiving capabilities and its social aspect. It can compile a library of your searches, so delving through copious amounts of history files is, well, history. Instead of wasting time guessing which page you visited that had that certain bit of info, you can go right to your own personal online library. A library that you have tagged and created yourself. By simply creating a user name, you can personalize your search experience, with your data and the pages you have visited and would like to visit again always at your fingertips. You decide whether or not to share your library with friends only or make it available for public viewing; a sharing option unique to this search engine usually reserved for web based programs like MySpace or Facebook.
Believe me, being an avid researcher of the most eclectic and often remote material and topics, I love sending Worio on the hunt knowing that not only will this engine bring me back relevant info, but also little tidbits of my preference for my viewing pleasure. Now, it just doesn’t get any better than that.
Everything changes; it is inevitable. I believe that Worio is the search engine that will change the way we search the web.
