May 12th, 2008 — Launched, Search Engine
(click to enlarge)
Powerset launches its supposedly “human lauguage” search engine. Basically it’s only searching Wikipedia at this point but the search experience is very AJAXed out and good.
I looked up “zedomax” and only thing I could find was Zedomax.com linked to the Hacker article at Wikipedia, which I inserted long time ago.
Powerset looks like great for searching Wikipedia, as Wikipedia’s default search engine sucks.
It may explode onto the mass once Powerset gets more into mainstream search engine market.
Today marks another milestone for San Francisco based contextual search engine Powerset. They’ve launched a showcase for their user search experience - effectively the search engine minus the web crawl. For now, Powerset queries only Wikipedia and augments results with data from Freebase. The product launch comes just a day after reports that the company is being shopped to potential buyers by investment bank Allen & Co.

May 10th, 2008 — Launching, Search Engine, Web3.0, web2.0
Powerset will be launching soon. It’s a natural language search that makes me wonder it could possibly be the next big thing. All the Web2.0 geeks are talking about semantic web, natural language search, and all that bizaaz, this search engine could prove to be one of the first to implement those ideas.
But as I said when the product was demo’d to me a few weeks ago, it is compelling nonetheless: “When I tested the service I had something very similar to the “Aha!” feeling that ran through me the first time I ever used Google. In short, it is an evolutionary, and possibly revolutionary, step forward in search.”
