Uclue ressuscite Google Answers!
Par François GRISONI, mercredi 7 mars 2007 à 22:53 :: General :: #78 :: rss
Mais çà n'a pas l'air de plaire à Google... Alors que le moteur de recherche fermait les portes de son service de questions/réponses fin 2006, il semblerait que les experts responsables du projet aient encore de l’espoir quant à la qualité du produit. Sous l’impulsion de Roger Browne, ils viennent de créer Uclue, un service en tout point comparable à Google Answers, encore en version bêta.Petites différences révélées par une des premières questions sur le site:
- Pas de frais pour poser une question, alors que feu GA demandait 50 cents automatiquement
- GA facturait les questions entre 2 et 200$, alors qu’uclue demande entre 5 et 250 $
- Ce paiement se fait par avance, grâce à Paypal ou par carte bancaire, alors que GA obligeait à un paiement par carte, mais uniquement quand la réponse était produite.
- Uclue acceptera les questions à son sujet (GA les ignorait)
- Uclue répond aux questions posées en trois langues (anglais, espagnol, allemand) et compte les multiplier au fur et à mesure du développement, alors que GA n’acceptait que l’anglais.
- Aucune question ne sera censurée parce que des robots trieurs auront identifié des termes non désirés dans les demandes (implicitement contrairement à Google…)
Je suis assez sceptique quant au devenir de ce nouveau venu, qui devra faire sa place parmi les structures existantes et qui est issu d’un projet qui n’a pas survécu…
Alors certes Google Answers avait énormément de partisans, mais sans doute que la patte « Google » y était pour beaucoup. De plus, une des raisons qui ont fait fermer GA était que le service était payant, contrairement à ceux proposés par ses concurrents. Uclue a des tarifs encore plus élevés que GA…
D’autant plus que Google démontre une fois de plus un manque de fair play flagrant :
En tapant uclue.com dans les barres de recherche de Google et Yahoo ! nous arrivons à un résultat éloquent…
Sous Yahoo! les trois seuls résultats qui apparaissent renvoient directement sur le site Uclue. En revanche, sous Google, 57 résultats apparaissent, aucun ne renvoi vers le site…
Google aurait-il délibérément refusé de référencer Uclue ?
Non, décidement, vraiment pas fair-play...
Difficile d’avoir des réactions de Google sur l’ouverture d’Uclue, mais j’ai très envie de soutenir le petit poucet face au grand méchant… Bonne chance à Uclue, il va lui en falloir…
What are the small differences revealed by one of the first questions?
• No expenses to put a question, whereas fire GA required 50 hundreds automatically
• GA invoiced the questions between 2 and 200$, whereas uclue request between 5 and 250 $
• This payment is done by advance, thanks to Paypal or by bank card, whereas GA obliged with a payment by chart, but only when the answer was produced.
• Uclue will accept the questions about itself (GA was unaware of them)
• Uclue answers the questions in three languages (English, Spanish, German) and hopes to multiply them progressively, whereas GA only accepted English.
• No question will be censured because hot botswill have identified nondesired terms in the requests (implicitly contrary to Google…)
The content will thus not change because the "researchers" are the same ones as at Google Answers, even if they were never paid by Google, because the self-employed workers placed at his disposal. It should be noted that any unsolved enigma will be to refund.
I am enough skeptic its futurer, because uclue will have to make its place among the existing structures and which results from a project which did not survive… Then certainly Google Answers had partisans enormously, but undoubtedly that the leg "Google" was there for much. Moreover, one of the reasons which made close GA was that the service was paying, contrary to those proposed by its competitors. Uclue is more expansive than GA…
More especially as Google shows a lack once more to fair play obvious:
By typing uclue.com in the bars of search for Google and Yahoo!we arrive at an eloquent result…
Under Yahoo!, there is only three results return directly on the Uclue site. On the other hand, under Google, 57 results appear, none reference towards the site…
Would Google have deliberately refused to refer Uclue?
No, definetly not fair-play… It's difficult to find reactions of Google about the opening of Uclue, but I very want to support Tom Thumb against the Joker… Good luck with Uclue, you will need some…
