QB launches moonrise!

We’re proud to announce that we’ve opened the doors on moonrise!

moonrise is a wonderful place where you can post how you feel. The latest news will be on the moonrise blog. We’ve used API’s to make all the best photos, videos and quotes (from QB of course!) available so that you can post a feeling with conviction and meaning. It’s been well received in our early trials.

Look out for much more in the future, as we fix bugs, add features and so on. You will soon be able to post your feelings about things including web pages!

Merry Christmas and here’s to a wonderful 2008!

We’d like to wish you a wonderful holidays and look  forward to releasing a whole set of new features in 2008! For now, we leave you with  Christmas and New Year quotes.

Find what someone said about something

We’ve built a neat little search which tells you what someone said about something! This is powered by our friends at daylife - and uses lots and lots of newspapers to fish out that great little snippet. Let us know if we can improve on it!

Quotes from the News!

We’ve just launched an awesome way to look at the world news - browse it in quotes!

The topics at the moment include things like Iraq, George Bush, Google, etc. and we’re expanding it. The news from quotes is updated every 5 minutes and keeps up with most of the world’s newspapers and news channels.

Playing with our data - feeds and RDF!

Since we released our data and feeds as open services, the feedback has been interesting and varied. We’re currently syndicating our content to answers.com, and various semantic web projects like DBPedia and Freebase. We’re talking to various others, and at the same time, growing the essential features for people to be able to add their own quotes, tag, discuss etc.

If you’re a developer, check out this interesting article on the Talis wiki about playing and processing our RDF which is freely available. Remember that you need to link a click-through to QB in production environments for each item. Other than that, you’re free to mangle our data for your needs ;-)

Announcing .. our facebook application

We’re pleased to present Quotes of the Day - our facebook application . Facebook users can send any quote to their friends. Coming soon - the ability to search the entire quotationsbook database for any quote you like - and being able to send that to friends!

We’re a Skype extra!

We’ve built a Skype extra which works with the latest version of Skype - it’s called Your mood in quotes!. It lets you set your mood message in Skype to a quote. You can search for one, and set the quote in one click! This is powered by our feeds which we recently released.
