Search engine pioneer Overture prepares for new chapter
From the article, “Five or 10 years from now, we are going to look back at the current state of Web search and be embarrassed, like we are now when we look back at old technologies like Betamax VCRs and 8-track tapes,” said Gary William Flake, Overture’s chief science officer. The company plans to use the [AltaVista and AllTheWeb] sites as test labs for exploring new ways to probe the Internet, parlaying what it has learned from its commercial search engines to develop better algorithmic formulas. Note: ResourceShelf is currently conducting an interview with Dr. Flake. Stay tuned.
