Phlogiston

Trivia hunters ask the textperts and So, do sheep shrink in the rain?

The Guardian’s technology section has a nice article on 82ASK: The answer is just a text message away. Interestingly, they compared both 82ASK and AQA and 82ASK came out clearly on top. Yay!

The Register had an interview with Colly Myers, the founder of AQA: Are Google’s glory days behind it? It’s an interesting read, and much of what he says applies to 82ASK as well. The one thing that raised an eyebrow was The Register’s claim that in a couple of tests, no examples given, AQA gave a better service that 82ASK. Of course it turns out that Andrew Orlowski and Colly Myers are old friends from Symbian. Unless The Register wants to back that claim up with some actual data I think The Guardian’s tests are more trustworthy.
