Find all domains hosted on an IP in Bing

Recently I came accross an interesting post in Labnol. In this post Amit explained about a new operator in Bing. Ofcourse we all know that Bing is a new search engine which is released few months back from Microsoft. Using this operator we can find out different domains which are hosted on an IP.

Search for "ip:(IP address)" to get the all different domains which are hosted on the same ip. For example I have taken domain www.educationinandhra.com. It's hosted on ip 66.147.242.170. Now I have searched for the all different domains which are hosted on the same ip as shown in the following screenshot.


Thanks Amit

Recently on web, there are so many conversations are going regarding Wolfram Alpha. WolframAlpha is a new search engine which is going to be released on May 18th 2009. It's developed by Stephen Wolfram (creator of Mathematica). 

Stephen wolfram planned to release it on May 15, 2009.  As planned they have released on the same date, however due to over load they have shifted the public launch date to May 18, 2009.

Do you know the caption of Wolfram Alpha, it was “computational search engine”. It's completely a different concept of search. It's not at all a competitor for Google or any other search engine. Till now I was in assumption that it will occupy the position of google in future. Just now I have watched a scree cast from Wolfram Alpha  blog.

We all should feel glad to know about these changes, because twitter usually away from major changes. Any ways because of this most of the third party twitter tools making good money. Let them be happy.

Mainly Two things they were looking to change :

• Indexing links in tweets
  
• Reputation ranking system for tweets
  

Indexing Links in Tweets :

Currently search engines only able to crawl the text in the tweets but not links. They were planning to make the search engines to crawl the links too along with text in the tweets. So that people can get real time twitter results in the search engines too. Especially it gives users better search experience to those who are looking for timely content.

Reputation ranking system for tweets :

We all know that whenever we click on the trending topic, able to see lot of retweets. They are planning to give Reputation ranking system to these tweets. No one knows how the system is designed. Even the twitter engineers also not aware much about this, why because they are still figuring out that which works better. Hope this ranking system will give a great user experience.
