Neat online gadget
I'm sort of jaded by online 'devices', especially since I've been coding some of them. The subject has become interlaced with work.
Nevertheless, here's a fun software 'gadget' that broke through my jade.
Korea's main search engine Nate.com has this timeline thingamajig for selecting the desired search range. You just pull the start and end arrows, then hit the search button. The timeline shows which months are likely to yield more results.
Here's a sample in a dumb search for 'dachshund' videos.
(Incidentally, the word for Search on the Search button shows why Oriental joke names work so well. In mechanical transliteration it's Kumsak. In running speech I think it would be pronounced more like Gawmseng, which isn't funny.)
