Its context-sensitive link analysis not only measures the relative importance of a given page, but also determines the relative relevancy of that page for a given query. In order to implement this complex and comprehensive measure of relevancy, WISEnut has developed ways to compute ranking algorithms significantly faster than the competition.”

WISEnut was founded by one of the co-founders of MySimon, Yeogirl Yun.
