WebfishUK writes "The Guardian is running this story about Blinkx a a kind of "search companion" which aims to bring internet searches in closer contact to what you are working on. Its total search approach (including email attachments, blogs and local files) seems to have some parallels to Googles Gmail engine. Could this be the first real technology threat for Google?"

    Watson delivers context-aware intelligent information retrieval technologies to create critical search improvements. With Watson on the desktop, users get the information they need from a variety of private and public online sources -- delivered automatically while they work. You can learn more about Watson at http://www.openroad-tech.com

    The system came out of the research of Jay Budzik at Northwestern's Intelligent Information Laboratory.
