111 mobile search plugins

There are now 111 Berry411 mobile search plugins

Some of plugins are for everybody. For example:

  • yelp: sushi find reviews of nearby sushi joints via Yelp mobile.
  • kayak: lets you find the best prices for flights and hotels.
  • movieratings: star wars displays movie ratings of Star Wars from Rotten Tomatoes.
  • digg: displays recent digg headlines.

Other plugins make it easy to search for specialized information:

  • epocrates: tylenol will look up dosing and drug interaction information for tylenol.
  • law: hearsay defines legal terms. Uninteresting to most of us, but fascinating to a few.
  • urbandict: crunk looks up crunk in the urban dictionary (crunk=crazy+drunk)
  • taf:KDEN will display the travel aviation forecast for the KDEN airport.

Check them out and create your own.

Jonathan Alter: An alternative September 11th History

Jonathan Alter describes an Alternative September 11th History- what might have happened if we had focused a unified battle against the terrorists who hit us instead of an fixating on Iraq, which as Bush confirms had nothing to do with 9/11. 

Meanwhile the Washington Post reports that in March 2001, most special operations troops and their CIA counterparts were pulled off of the hunt for Bin Laden to prepare for war in Iraq

It’s hard to win the war when you don’t pick the right battles.
