True Knowledge is at SemTech

True Knowledge is at SemTech 2009 in San Jose all this week.

On Wednesday, True Knowledge's founder and CEO William Tunstall-Pedoe will be participating in their keynote panel on semantic search with representatives from Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Ask and Hakia.

We're are very interested in meeting people at this conference so if you are attending, please introduce yourself.

Flying high

Holiday season is here so True Knowledge is learning about air travel.  We've added a flight-time calculator and a bunch of facts about airports and airlines.

So next time you're planning a journey, try a few questions like these:

• Which airport serves Seattle?
• How long does it take to fly from Lima to San Francisco?
• Which airlines fly to Amsterdam Schiphol?
• Where does Qantas fly to?

Our Firefox add-on now works with Bing

Microsoft's cool new search engine Bing was released earlier this week.  Everyone at True Knowledge really likes Bing and to show our support for the new search engine we're releasing an update to our recently released search-enhancing Firefox add-on that works with Bing.

Download the latest version here.

There are a few subtle tweaks and features included in this upgrade as well.

For example you now have the option to show a loading animation while True Knowledge is 'thinking' (this is off as default).

Also, some answers now come with mouse-over contextual menus containing useful links and information.

We hope you like this upgrade, please give feedback in the comments or dedicated forum.
