Got Search Strings? (New Sourcing Contest)

[Irina Shamaeva]

Dear All, 

Here is a new mini-contest for you. 

1. Both Bing and Google have the operator “filetype”. What is the difference, if any? Are there any pages that can be reached with one engine but not with the other? 

2. My LinkedIn People Finder has refinements to search for people from 8 different countries. It works very well but there's one flaw I am aware of. Can you find it? Please find a case where it would bring up a wrong profile (not from the selected country) when you use one of the refinements.

3. How many people are there currently on Twitter, approximately, who are Software Developers working with .NET technology? Please explain. (Hint: they would not necessarily say ".NET Developer" in the bio) 

The winner will have a pass to my Twitter Webinar next Tue http://booleanstrings.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/find-the-right-people-on-twitter-expanded-verson/, or to a future webinar of his/her choice, and will be featured. 

Deadline: EOB Monday May 10. 

Please email your submissions to [e-mail]
