Google-killer test version unveiled by Powerset

The public will get its first chance Monday to test a search engine from start-up Powerset that eschews conventional keyword technology and instead is designed to understand the meaning of Web pages.

first thought that came to my mind was pretty stupid "lol new search engine, fails, google ftw"
when its out Im gonna try it, google doesnt pay me and if this thing is really better than google Im gonna use it. but Im not sure, so far google helped me so much and is like irreplaceable tool for me so powerset need to impresses people a lot in order to succeed.

yeah i'll try it too but to call it a google killer? i dont think that word will ever exist!

Kholinar6551d ago

it'll exist, maybe not soon... but eventually ideas will change the way we sort info and a large corporation of any type has a terrible time adapting to paradigm shifts. Look at MS. They do fine with well established business models (like hardcore gaming, office software) but fail at most every new thing they try. Eventually someone small, flexible and creative will take them by surprise.

The Google corporate structure is almost universally adored, but, believe me, there are some big problems with their communications structure in particular... you just don't hear about it much.

@lets-game, Good assessment. Infact that is basically how Google came from out of nowhere to dominate yahoo back in the day. One day it was 'go search on yahoo for xxx' the next day it was 'go google search that'.

One thing is for sure in the technology world, a lead in technology can dissappear in a big hurry.

Google isnt going away.

LJWooly6551d ago

It may well be better than Google, that's more than possible, but it won't "kill" Google, no way.
