What is Clinton up to lately? Accepting 800k from Arabs to promote their image, saying that free speech should be curtailed in the US and now promoting a company which the Chinese will use to block access to information. Has he gone nutty like Jimmy Carter?

They say its artificial intelegence - but its actually a million chinese getting paid a $ a day to index it all by hand.

AI ... wtf do they think google uses?

Googlebot is a prime example of an AI agent, their indexing algorithms also use probabilities etc.

Just a lot of buzzwords to create hype is all it is. I'll believe the relevancy when I see it.

That's what I thought too, but it looks like they're just using overture as a tracking service. Most of the clicks don't seem like paid links, hell most of the results I see are actually Wikipedia links. Seems a little primative in its results but I really do hope they gain some momentum.

Well the chinese have always had their hand in his back pocket, even when he was prez.

I've used it a bit today.. I kind of like the results. Not bad overall.
Do some searches, and compare the results with Google. Seems a lot less spammy, and more authoritative and interesting. I didn't search for porn yet.
