News: Schafer: Microsoft platforms facing talent exodus

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:33:00 +0000

Double Fine's Tim Schafer has joined those calling for Microsoft to change its Xbox Live policies towards developers, or face a mass migration of talent.

"I like Sony and Microsoft, but those systems are closed and curated very closely and it costs a lot more money to go through that system, to patch a game," he told IndustryGamers, explaining the attraction of the App Store and Steam for indie developers.

"It makes me stressed out that if I put a game up there, I might not be able to patch it because it might cost too much money, whereas these more open platforms will let us manage our own price and our own updates. It's just a lot more appealing right now."

The BBC and welovemobile launch new mobile search service

jamescoops — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:38:06 +0000

The guys over at Welovemobile have announced the launch of a new BBC mobile search service as the result of a project they've been working on.

We all know that mobile search is totally broken - Google have essentially stopped even bothering to provide a mobile specific version or index, so it's an area which desperately needs more innovation. At the same time, as the BBC note, mobile search is more important to them than ever, as mobile internet usage grows and there is more and more content available for mobile devices.

"There are thousands of BBC web pages on the mobile site, a whole world of additional content that you more than likely don't know about. Offering search on mobile is a no-brainer - it gets you to the content you want with the least possible effort ...."

The new search service covers news, sport, radio & television web pages and iplayer radio and TV content.

Welovemobile helped the BBC to create a search interface design that incorporates 'best of breed' features from other types of search engine and discovery interfaces. The aim of the design is to allow for advanced content search and discovery, with the emphasis on providing very relevant and personalised "content surfacing" around the BBC's mobile content and services assets. The search solution contains some interesting new content filtering and presentaiton concepts and a slick UI.

The BBC say it was a tough job coming up with the end solution:

"our colleagues in Search have had many 'interesting' challenges developing BBC search for mobile. We know it's crucial to get the results right first time on mobile ... we spent weeks fine tuning the search logic, weighting our search terms, and we now know more about the idiosyncrasies of search logic that we ever thought we would need to. Mobile search is still not perfect, but it's been a long time coming and we wanted to get it launched .... "

The end result looks pretty good, and it's great that The BBC has invested in developing a bespoke mobile search tool for its site, rather than relying on a third party white label solution or just bunging in a google or yahoo site search integration. According to Simon Liss from welovemobile what they have done for the BBC is to

"...think mobile from the ground up. We’ve applied what we know about mobile devices, mobile usage, user experience and design to create what we believe is a truly original and innovative search concept and interface.’

The BBC mobile search product launched in an early Beta version on 3rd September - you can check it out at http://bbc.co.uk/mobile
