Another tool to help knowledge workers get to what they need quickly. I've been trying Atlas Recall over the last month. The general idea is that it sits on your computer (Mac currently, Windows soon) and keeps track of everything you see. And then if you are trying to recall "where did I see X", you can ask Atlas Recall for help. It does exactly that: will show you what you have seen, whether it was on the web or in a chat session or in documents you've been writing / reading.
Ron Friedmann saw an interesting product demo from LexisNexis, which spawned some thoughts about the next life for search technology. This sounds like what Glenn Fannick of Factiva discussed at a KM Chicago event in December 2005.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that Intellext are making their search-in-the-background tool, Watson, available for free. I used it for a while last year, and I just tested it again as I wrote that long post on the collection of PIM articles in CACM.
Watson by Intellext is now available in a free "personal" version. Watson conducts a search for you in the background, based on what you are currently writing or researching.
