Blinkx and You Won't Miss It

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?"

  Whoa now, don't get carried away. Taco had to proof-read the summary before posting. Considering he didn't catch a single error, I would say that he still wears the Corky crown.
  
  Way to go, retard!

What about Watson? by sanjaysood · 2004-07-15 09:22 · Score: 0, Offtopic

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.

Sure. Glad you asked.

Here's a good starting point... pretty much everything you'll need to know. It's from an article that originally ran in the NY Sun in March.
