			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With HDTV being one of the most popular buzz words in the consumer electronics industry, a lot of people get confused as to what is the difference between various HDTVs and which one should they buy. TheHDTVGenie is a slick new tool that can help you decide which HDTV will be best suitable for your needs.</p>
<p>The tool starts by asking you information about your room such as the level of brightness in the room, the wideness of the room and then jumps on to your primary intended use for the HDTV. It is one of the most important criteria since your TV choice can significantly differ depending on if you want it for playing games, watching movies or simply for regular cable. Additional questions ask if you are interested in 3D caapbility and the desired size for your TV. If you don&#8217;t know what size you want, the tool can suggest a size by just asking about the distance between your TV space and the wall. You can also specify if you want to mount your TV or put it on a shelf, and if sound and Internet capabilities are important to you.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/hd1.png?570cd5" alt="thehdtvgenie" /></p>
<p>Once you provide the information and indicate a price range, the tool then scans for thousands of TV choices and picks a few select that meet your specific criteria. You can also browse a wide selection of TVs based on their popularity and level of recommendations.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/hd2.png?570cd5" alt="thehdtvgenie" /></p>

You can also tag your schematic, view other public schematics and post comments on them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online shopping has improved the overall experience of shopping for stuff compared to 15 years ago. But recent developments show that even online shopping today can be a chore compared to what is possible with semantic technology. Hidentify is an awesome voice-based product search engine that hopes to be the logical next step for finding things to buy online.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/10110.png?570cd5" alt="product search site" /></p>
<p>Here is how online shopping is done today. If you are looking for a laptop, you probably have to enter the model number, processors, and screen-size to find exactly what you want. You go through product wikis, reviews, search, and different filters to match what you need. A Google Product Search for a <a class="vt-p" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=cheap+laptop&amp;tbm=shop&amp;hl=en&amp;aq=f">cheap laptop</a> and an <a class="vt-p" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=expensive+laptop&amp;tbm=shop&amp;hl=en&amp;aq=f">expensive laptop</a> does not return differentiated results.</p>
<p>With Hidentify,  the app translates your basic query into meaningful results. Just check out this query on a &#8220;<a class="vt-p" href="http://www.hidentify.com/search/powerful+laptop+with+large+screen">powerful laptop with large screen</a>&#8220;. With Hidentify, the experience feels like talking to someone knowledgeable about products online.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/10213.png?570cd5" alt="product search website" /></p>
<p>Hidentify’s search results make it even more awesome. You can sort the results by the properties from your query. For example, searching for a powerful laptop will provide results that let you sort by performance. In addition you can read related searches to help refine your results. You can also post results to your Facebook Wall to ask for your friends&#8217; opinion.</p>
<p>Hidentify is definitely a great step-up to what we have now, basically making traditional product search results look foolish. This tool is ideal for just any online shopper who does not want to be bothered by specious details, but want to be provided suggestions based on their own ideas.</p>
<p><object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JlPdfF7JtI8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="430" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JlPdfF7JtI8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Voice-based semantic product search website.</li>
<li>Fast and neat interface.</li>
<li>Translates your basic queries into meaningful results.</li>
<li>Sort based on properties made from your query.</li>
<li>View related queries.</li>
