Facebook is developing the Open Graph to map user interests and connections between users and content across the web. Through plugins like Like and Activity Feed, any website can integrate with Facebook so that user actions are shared to profiles. This creates a "portable user" where preferences and friends travel with users online. The Open Graph could allow personalized experiences across the web and challenge Google's search dominance by offering personalized results based on social connections. However, some privacy and control concerns exist if users do not want to share data with Facebook or give up control of login processes.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

◦
the list of people they are connected to
◦
the activity stream of content they create;
•
Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and
•
Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.
Sites supporting these rights shall:
•
Allow their users to syndicate their own profile data, their friends list, and the data that’s
shared with them via the service, using a persistent URL or API token and open data formats;
•
Allow their users to syndicate their own stream of activity outside the site;
•
Allow their users to link from their profile pages to external identifiers in a public way; and
•
Allow their users to discover who else they know is also on their site, using the same
external identifiers made available for lookup within the service.

Notes de l'éditeur
Web 3.0, the next generation of the WWW, is starting to appear on the horizon. Although it is far from clear what the term will mean, it is expected to include a change to a more semantic, data-driven web. In my presentation I will discuss different directions that are currently mentioned and show examples of applications that already incorporate some of these ideas. The main part of the presenation will focus on the increased use of RSS feeds and mashups, which are a first step towards Web 3.0. Examples of advanced uses of RSS and mash ups in instructional technology will be given and the required procedures will be demonstrated.
Description:
While we are still in the process to fully incorporate Web 2.0 technology into our classrooms, there is already talk about the next generation of the Web, Web 3.0. Again, as had happened with Web 2.0, there is no clear definition yet for this new version, and it will most likely be an evolutionary change in the way we use the WWW. Currently, the most common expectation is that Web 3.0 will be the \"semantic Web\". This is usually understood to mean a web focused on content and data and less on webpages that are displayed in a browser. In my presentation I will discuss different directions that are currently being discussed and show examples of applications that already incorporate some of these ideas.
These changes should be positive for instructional technology as they will most likely provide new and better tools for the presentation of information and will allow us to provide even better support for instruction. We already have several tools and technologies that focus on content and its delivery: RSS feeds, tagging of data and mash ups will fit into the next generation of Web tools as well.
In the main part of the presentation I will focus on RSS feeds and mash ups as tools to enrich our instruction. Many of us are using blogs in our professional lives, however RSS feeds, which can be easily created are rarely used to their full potential. I will demonstrate how they can become an important component of our instructional toolset as well as the source for powerful mash ups, which integrate the content of your material with other resources such as maps, images, news, and video. During the presentation I will show how such advanced content presentations can be created using a visual approach: All of the software giants such as Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and Adobe are making easy-to-use mash up editors available for free. Examples and a demonstration will conclude the presentation.

Web page for web 3.0 conference (http://www.web3event.com/):
The Web 1.0 concept was simple: web pages linking to web pages. Then came Web 2.0 - a powerful movement from web pages to web applications. Web 2.0 applications have evolved into often slick viewports into proprietary or personal collections of information. This means they still primarily house data in silos inaccessible to and disconnected from the larger world, and most importantly, from each other.
But as we approach 2009, the clear outlines of the new web are forming. Some call this next generation the Semantic Web, but we think that term is confining, and so, instead, we refer to it as simply Web 3.0.
The new web is moving beyond connecting pages to interconnecting data objects, concepts, and things. Ultimately Web 3.0 is really about creating technology that more accurately mirrors how we see and think about the world around us.
Explaining Web 1.0, Web 2.0 & Web 3.0 (http://www.resourcefulidiot.com/2008/05/explaining-web-10-web-20-web-30)
Conceptual, Miscellaneous, Web 2.0
May 9th, 2008
It seems that everyone has their own idea of what Web 2.0 means.That is one of the pitfalls to using a single buzzword to define everything you see on the internet. I have heard people describing nearly every new website as being Web 2.0 as if it was describing the launch date of a site. The term ironically is the most popular category on Resourceful Idiot. In leu of this, I am going to finally give you the definition of Web 2.0 and the principles that define it. In order to do that however, I need to start from the beginning with Web 1.0.
You can group each of the “Web x.x” as a different movement when it comes to internet usage. Web 1.0 is the movement that took place during the beginning of the internet.
Think AOL, Geocities, and Netscape.
Back then the primary use of the internet was taking print media and posting it online. Web 1.0 saw books, news, music and everything else being moved into a digital format. This movement is still going on and will probably never stop. This is because as new data becomes available it needs to be made available online, but the majority of the community has shifted focus toward data integration since there is not much innovation remaining in posting data online.
Now that brings us to Web 2.0. Many think that this is the current movement of the internet, and in some ways you are correct. After all this data was posted online with the Web 1.0 movement, the online community began to look for ways to share all of this data. The main question that drove this movement, “How can I take this data and share it with other people?” Since this question was asked, sites have popped up all over the internet trying to answer this question with different approaches. One of the most adopted solutions involves the idea of social networking.
Facebook is a popular Web 2.0 site utilizing social networking as a solution
All of these sites, like Facebook, use the concept of a social networking to create a community. Each community member is responsible for contributing information to the rest of the users. Even though social networking is the most popular approach, another prominent approach is the development and utilization of web services. I wrote an article a few weeks ago about different web services and their technologies (REST and SOAP), and I mentioned that the majority of sites you visit have a web service running in the background. These services allow you to integrate data between sites through API’s (Application Programming Interface) such as you see on Flickr and Amazon. RSS/Atom feeds are also products of the Web 2.0 movement. This movement is still very much alive and being actively addressed.
Now to look into the upcoming movements, Web 3.0. It is difficult to define what Web 3.0 will be as you cannot define something that has yet to occur on a large scale. The best way I can define what we will see with this movement is the integration of data on the internet. Now that the data is online thanks to Web 1.0 and sites can share data through API’s and social networks (Web 2.0), the next obvious direction is to do something with this massive amount of data we have available. A common way of describing this is the use of internet as a platform. With Web 3.0 applications we will see the data being integrated and applying it into innovative ways that were never possible before. Imagine taking things from Amazon, integrating it with data from Google and then building a site that would define your shopping experience based on a combination of Google Trends and New Products. This is just a random (possibly horrible) example of what Web 3.0 applications will harness. An illustration would be to draw nodes to represent all the sites on the internet and then draw a new node. Draw lines from all those existing nodes into the one you just created. The consumption and presentation of the data is what Web 3.0 will potentially be.
The definitions of Web x.x terms is highly debatable. Even when writing this, I was told that technology is what defines Web 2.0. The use of Javascript and AJAX is the “essence” of Web 2.0. However, these technologies have been around since Web 1.0 so obviously this is incorrect. The technologies that have been developed during these phases are simply there to help answer the question in a more accurate way. To prove my point let’s look at history. The guillotine did not define the Enlightenment movement back in the 1700s, the guillotine was developed in response to the questions the Enlightenment movement sought answers for (in this case, “Humane death”).

Mashups combine content or data from different web sites into new applications.
Middleware written in a server side language (or flash or JS) combines the data into a web page that is displayed by the browser.
Mashup editors/engines (Google mashup editor, MS Popfly,...) can also serve this purpose.

IP -- FIRST TIME to FindNearBy.Net? HERE'S HOW TO START SEARCHING:: FindNearby.net gives you unique, 1-search coverage of more than 300+ vendors, including Amazon, eBay and Craiglist + MANY OTHERS. Furthermore, for eBay and Craigslist, FindNearby.net helps you get great stuff NEAR HOME by mapping items that match your queries relative to a ZIP CODE or LOCATION NAME you provide (TOP: \"...to Where?\"). This is especially useful for heavy things like cars, appliances, furniture, etc., because of shipping costs, logistics, and your wanting to SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. To get started, enter a Search Term (TOP: \"What Do You Want?\") and press the \"Search\" button (TOP: RIGHT). Plese see \"SAVVY SEARCHES\" just below for tips on how to get the best results from each search you make. RESULTS are shown BY VENDOR CATEGORY on your left (TOP: LEFT, TABS). There also please note both a SCROLLER (up/down) and a PAGE TURNER (top) in those results. SORTS may be changed and toggled by clicking the CRITERIA (white, italics text). CRITERIA will changed, depending on VENDOR SOURCE (current active LEFT TAB).
TIP -- TRY YOUR OWN, CUSTOM, LINKS to FindNearBy.Net! Examples: (1) http://findnearby.net/27514/ipod/200 finds all \"ipod\" matches within 200 miles of ZIP 27514; (2) http://findnearby.net/new_york_ny/ipod/100 finds all \"ipod\" matches within 100 miles of New York, N.Y. (see \"Search within Cities and States\" for valid names that can be used with underscores instead of spaces as with the example shown); (3) The syntax, slightly changed, also works for other Neighborhoods. For example, for autosnearby.net: http://autosnearby.net/10001/toyota/camry/100 finds all Camrys within 100 miles of the 10001 zip code. Or http://autosnearby.net/27514/Honda/Honda/3500, which finds all Honda motorcycles in the country. PLEASE NOTE that the following url is the same: http://motorcyclesnearby.net/27514/Honda/%20/3500 (note escape-20). Distances may be one of 25, 50, 100, 200, 3500 (aka Don't Care).
TIP -- HOW TO MAKE 'SHORTLISTS' BEFORE YOU BUY: (1) Perform a search--then scroll & click interesting items from 300+ vendors (LEFT: TABS & ROWS). (2) Your clicks become YOUR SHORTLIST, opening as Tabs (L to R, ABOVE). (3) Use Your Free, My Finds Tools (PRESENTED WHEN YOU CLICK 'VIEW ITEM...') to get the BEST DEAL!
TIP -- HOW TO MAKE SAVVY SEARCHES: First, the start-up search illustrates how the site works as it loads. Note that its results are sorted by Price, not Distance by default (TOP-LEFT, \"Sort:\"). To see \"nearby\" items first, simply click \"Distance\" as your sort. From there, following are some tips to get the most from your time: (1) Start with a single, seemingly-potent BRAND keyword (e.g. a brand like 'samsung') and try a search. (2) Scan quickly through the results, LEFT: TABS (Vendors) & ROWS (Result Items). NOTE: some LEFT tabs let you filter results by 'Favorite Brands'. (3) If there's too much clutter, consider four things: (A) Use operators to restrict the search (e.g. if you want a subzero-rated sleeping bag, not a refrigerator: 'subzero+-refrigerator'. NOTE: use '+\" to join multiple terms (no spaces) and a '-' should you wish to EXCLUDE a term, in the example, 'refrigerator'; (B) For eBay, try 'Browsing by Location & Category' (TOP: Below Search Term Input Box); (C) For (eBay, Craigslist), reduce the value for \"How Close?\" (e.g., from 'Don't Care' to '100mi'); (D) Specifying a 'Category' until you're well into refining your results can limit you greatly. LASTLY, and especially for \"Name Brand Stores,\" using a search like \"Apple Macbook+Pro\" (note there IS a space) will translate into a SPLIT-search of Apple (the manufacturer, which must be ther first term) and Macbook+Pro (the product). Another example with negation: \"samsung hdtv+-plasma\" (Samsung, the manufacturer; hdtv's that are not plasma). Also, you may USE NAMES FOR LOCATIONS, but only in this format: Boston MA. LASTLY, you may search by EBAY ITEM ID or AMAZON ITEM ID.

Transcript:
Slide 1: What’s Next on the Web? Web Technology Trends for 2008 and Beyond Presented by: Richard MacManus, Editor, ReadWriteWeb
Slide 2: • http://www.readwriteweb.com • Daily coverage of Web Technology news, trends & products • Lead blog in RWW Network; others are Last100 (digital lifestyle), AltSearchEngines (search), ReadWriteTalk (podcast show) • ReadWriteWeb is #13 on Technorati Top 100, #5 on Techmeme Leaderboard • Founder & Editor: Richard MacManus • RWW team: Alex Iskold, Marshall Kirkpatrick, Josh Catone, Sarah Perez, Emre Sokullu, Bernard Lunn, Steve O’Hear & Dan Langendorf (last100), Charles Knight (ASE), Sean Ammirati (RWT)
Slide 3: Web 2.0 • Read/Write, two-way, anyone can be a publisher • Social Web • The term “Web 2.0” defines an era; like “Dot Com” • Search (Google, Alternative Search Engines) • Social Networks (MySpace, Facebook, OpenSocial) • Online Media (YouTube, Last.fm) • Content Aggregation / Syndication (Bloglines, Google Reader, Techmeme, Topix) • Mashups (Google Maps, Flickr, YouTube) Image credit: catspyjamasnz
Slide 4: What’s Next? (Web 3.0) • Web Sites Become Web Services – “Unstructured information will give way to structured information - paving the road to more intelligent computing.” (Alex Iskold, ReadWriteWeb, Mar 07) – Examples: Amazon E-Commerce API, del.icio.us API, Twitter API, Dapper, Teqlo, Yahoo! Pipes (scraping technologies) – Pages not center of Web now, Data & Services are – 90% of Twitter activity happens through its API • Intelligent Web = data is getting smarter (ref: Nova Spivack, Twine, Oct 07) – Semantic Web – Filters / recommendations – Personalization • Beyond PC - mobile, IPTV, physical world integration
Slide 5: Semantic Web • Machines talking to machines • Making the Web more 'intelligent’ • Tim Berners-Lee: computers \\\"analyzing all the data on the Web‚ the content, links, and transactions between people and computers.” • Bottom Up = annotate, metadata, RDF! • Top Down = Simple Image credit: dullhunk Top-down: • Leverage existing web information • Apply specific, vertical semantic knowledge • Deliver the results as a consumer-centric web app
Slide 6: Semantic Apps What is a Semantic App? - Not necessarily W3C Semantic Web - An app that determines the meaning of text and other data, and then creates connections for users - Data portability and connectibility are keys (ref: Nova Spivack) Example: Calais Reuters, the international business and financial news giant, launched an API called Open Calais in Feb 08. The API does a semantic markup on unstructured HTML documents - recognizing people, places, companies, and events. Ref: Reuters Wants The World To Be Tagged ; Alex Iskold, ReadWriteWeb, Feb 08
Slide 7: More Semantic Apps Other Products to watch: • Twine • Freeset • Powerset • Talis • TrueKnowledge • AdaptiveBlue • TripIt • Spock • Quintura • Hakia Ref: 10 Semantic Apps to Watch; Richard MacManus, ReadWriteWeb, Nov 07
Slide 8: Open Data • Data-driven Web • APIs, Portable data • Making data available on the Web via APIs, web services, open data standards • “Data silos and walled gardens are a huge loss of opportunity and more people are figuring that out every day.” Marshall Kirkpatrick, ReadWriteWeb, January 2008 Social Graph • Social networks slowly opening up: OpenSocial / Facebook Platform --> Social Graph --> Custom Social Networks? • Brad Fitzpatrick: \\\"the global mapping of everybody and how they're related”; Ref: Brad Fitzpatrick, Aug 07 • Alex Iskold: “…it will take a lot of work to get a working solution. The challenges are conceptual, technical, political, business and educational.”; Ref: Social Graph: Concepts and Issues; Alex Iskold, ReadWriteWeb, Sep 07 • Tim Berners-Lee: Third main \\\"level\\\" of computer networks (Giant Global Graph): Internet --> Web --> Graph. Ref: RWW, Nov 07
Slide 9: Open Data: Products & Standards Open Data Products • Google's Android mobile OS; will be available for any phone manufacturer to install and build on top of • Data remix products; e.g. Dapper, Yahoo Pipes • Mashups; e.g. Last.fm mashups use Audioscrobbler - \\\"a massive database that tracks listening habits and calculates relationships and recommendations based on the music people listen to.\\\" • Lifestreaming apps (personal data aggregation and publishing); e.g. Tumblr, Jaiku, Onaswarm, MyBlogLog, FriendFeed Ref: Lifestreaming: a ReadWriteWeb Primer, Jan 08 Open Data Standards • Data portability - taking your data and friends from one site to another. Check out DataPortability.org • OpenID- portable identity; single sign-on • OpenSocial - Google initiative for social networks, enabling developers to create widgets with one set of code; MySpace a member, Facebook isn’t • APML - growing ‘Attention’ standard; Your Attention Data is all the information online about what you read, write, share and consume
Slide 10: Mobile Web • Portable • Location-aware • Integrated with physical world • Always on, always carried, built-in payment model, mobile phone is a creative tool at point of creative impulse, gets the most accurate audience info. (ref: Tomi Ahonen, Oct 07) • Google, Yahoo, Microsoft all ramping up their Mobile Web efforts (e.g. Yahoo Go platform) iPhone • Revolutionary Mobile Web UI (multi-touch) • Runs OS X, Safari = can view full websites in the browser on a mobile phone (not WAP!) • Desktop class applications • Rich HTML emails (competitor to Blackberry) • Ref: Boom! iPhone Rocks Tech World, ReadWriteWeb, Jan 07
Slide 11: Mobile Web Apps 5 Essential Mobile Web Apps As chosen by RWW readers, Nov 07: • Gmail Java app for mobile phone • Google Maps for Mobile • Opera Mini • Fring (VoIP, IM) • Shozu (send media to Web) Twitter • Best Mobile Start-up, Crunchies Awards 2007 • ReadWriteWeb’s Best Web LittleCo of 2007 • Micro-blogging; mix between blogging and chatting; short updates, “140 characters or less” • Niche now, but potential for mainstream: “It is the coverage of news events and the continued emergence of citizen journalism that will push Twitter toward the mainstream this year.” Josh Catone, ReadWriteWeb, Jan 08
Slide 12: Recommendation Engines • Given a set of ratings for a particular user, along with those of the whole user base, come up with new items that this user will like • Personalization is driving it 4 Approaches: • Personalized recommendation - recommend things based on the individual's past behavior • Social recommendation - recommend things based on the past behavior of similar users • Item recommendation - recommend things based on the item itself • A combination of the three approaches above Ref: Rethinking Recommendation Engines,Alex Iskold, ReadWriteWeb, Feb 08
Slide 13: Recommendation Engines - Examples • Amazon, Netflix, last.fm, Pandora, StumbleUpon, del.icio.us are some of the most popular • Last.fm music recommendation community sold to CBS for $280M & StumbleUpon sold to eBay for $75M; both in May ‘07 • Ref: 10 Recommended Recommendation Engines, ReadWriteWeb, Feb 08 MyStrands • Invested $55 million so far • Aims to “to lead the social recommendation industry” • Currently music discovery and social networking site that covers the PC, mobile and physical worlds • Mission: “help people discover new things” • Working on open data formats for describing user taste data; may also use APML?
Slide 14: ReadWriteWeb Resources • What's Next on the Web: a ReadWriteWeb • 2008 Web Predictions • 10 Future Web Trends • 10 More Future Web Trends
Does not mention web 3.0, but I would consider two of the technologies part of the web 3.0 era

Web 3.0 will be 3D-Internet!

The future of the internet develops from the common 2D web into a more and more realistic three-dimensional cyberworld. This however is so far still basically unknown to a wider public; but this trend seems unstoppable. At this moment the internet is conquering the virtual threedimensional space. We hardly got used to the term 'Web 2.0' - already 'Web 3.0' knocks at our doors. At least this term will be easy to remember, because…
Web 3.0 will be nothing else than three-dimensional internet.In Web 2.0 we have the possibility to participate in the internet with blogs, Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook, Digg or Myspace. With Web 3.0 we will do the same thing - but in 3D! The leap from Community Web 2.0 to 3D Web 3.0 will be a quantum jump, which can be compared to the step from book to television.
At this very moment thousands of users worldwide linger in 3D-worlds like Second Life or 3D-games suchs as Entropiauniverse and Activeworlds.These virtual spaces are however just forerunners of a much greater trend. The whole net will become a complete threedimensional world - a virtual parallel-world to real life. These new worlds will be inhabited by so-called avatars.
An avatar is an artificial person or a graphic representative of a person in a virtual world, as for example in a computer game. So it is about a kind of virtual I or we could also call it our alter ego. The word avatar is sanskrit and literally means 'descent' and implies descent of a god into the bodily realms of planet earth. Computer-avatars however represent real people - at least for the time being. In this regard, virtual worlds are more real than certain telephone-hotlines!
Philip Rosedale, founder of Second Life, believes that one day 1'500 million people will have a second existence.Rosedale believes that virtual identities will become as popular as email-addresses and mobile phones. Too daring a prediction? If we consider the fact that 10 years ago in 1997 only a handful of people owned their own email-address, virtual identities for a great part of the population seem very well realistic.
The adding of the third dimension will shift the internet into a hyper-realistic parallelworld.In the year 2020 it will be difficult to distinguish this computerworld from the real world. A foretaste of this can be seen in the onlineworld  which is currently best-known: Second Life. Luxurious flats on tropical islands…sports like skydiving and skateboarding…virtual campus including teachers and lecture rooms…virtual sex, escort agencies, red-light district, tabledance…purchase and vending of land, real estate, cars, furniture, clothes…3D-chat…and all the rest of it. This and much more can be experienced at this stage!

But also see impl.emented » Web 3.0 - The Semantic, Implicit, Mobile or Distributed Web? about misunderstandings
Berners-Lee seems to have used the term semantic web first.
8-minute interview.
2001 article in Scientific American
http://www.technologyreview.com/video/semantic
has searching become easier on the web?
\"There are fundamentally three big problems with current search, which largely stem from the fact that conventional search engines match words and phrases not meanings.
First of all, there is the issue of ambiguity. When you type in “Java” do you mean “the programming language”, “a region in Indonesia” or “a cup of coffee”?
Second of all, you need to guess which search terms to use – you’re looking for a new “car” but it’s also referred to as an “automobile” or a “vehicle” etc. This is in fact the single biggest problem because there are sometimes dozens of different ways of saying the same thing.
Google results for search term \"java\"
And lastly, it’s the sheer volume of results that are daunting. A search in Google for “java” yields 412 million results. They can’t all be good. A lot of this is just noise but you often have to sift through mismatched or unacceptable results to get what you want.
So these then are the first things that semantic search should seek to improve. There are different ways of removing ambiguity – one being by looking at the context around a word or phrase and another to give the user a means of easily being unambiguous.
Understanding that there are different ways in which people can say the same thing is critical for semantic search. You shouldn’t have to guess the way that the search engine wants you to express yourself, you should have a search engine that understands you the way you naturally think and should do the “heavy lifting” of finding all of the results that match.\"
(http://www.semantifind.com)
Test of three search engines for the question:
\"Who is the next president of the united states?\"
http://www.ask.com http://powerset.com http://google.com
Ask.com seems to be better than powerset.
Try \"how far is london from paris?\". Surprisingly, Google is very good also.
