New search engines: potential Google rivals revisited

Earlier this year, bigmouthmedia took a look at some new search engines that were making waves for various reasons. Powerset, Wikia, Project Quaero, Blekko and Cuill were the five upstarts looking to change the search landscape for the better.

Untangling Web Information

Ostracus writes "The next big stage in the evolution of the Internet, according to many experts and luminaries, will be the advent of the Semantic Web — that is, technologies that let computers process the meaning of Web pages instead of simply downloading or serving them up blindly. Microsoft's acquisition of the semantic search engine Powerset earlier this year shows faith in this vision. But thus far, little Semantic Web technology has been available to the general public. That's why many eyes will be on Twine, a Web organizer based on semantic technology that launches publicly today."
