Oh no, another search algorithm to worry about!
A new start up is poised to take on Google …
It’s like the rest of life, it doesn’t pay to worry.
You just keep doing the right things enough and you trust the algorithm’s will take care of themselves.
It’s funny how one of my lenses on Squidoo on home medical transcription is still half unconscious thanks to the “Squidoo Slap” but Yahoo is doing a good job sending traffic.
The idea is sound, however the reason people type in keywords is that they are also typing in less text and don’t want to type full sentences!
The really big next development in search engines might be ones that read text message code!
After nearly two years of hushed development, Powerset is finally providing a peek at a “natural-language” technology that is supposed to make it easier to communicate with search engines.
Powerset’s algorithms are programmed to understand search requests submitted in plain English, a change from the “keyword” system used by Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and the owners of the other leading engines.
The distinction means Web surfers will theoretically be able to get more meaningful results by typing more precise search requests in the form of straightforward questions like “What did Steve Jobs say about Apple?” instead of entering an ungrammatical mishmash like “Apple Steve Jobs said.”
