"Bite my Bing, baby." - Microsoft
Edited on Sun Jul-31-11 07:18 AM by SpiralHawk
“...Search is still essentially a Web site finder.” Mr. Lu says. “It’s all nouns. But the future of search is verbs — computationally discerning user intent to give them the knowledge to complete tasks...

"The phrase that Microsoft uses is “decision engine,” as opposed to search engine...."

From the Sunday NYT

7. I'm checking out JoAnt, but every link I've found to oingo redirects to Applied Semantics,
which has been acquired by Google. Do you have a link to oingo that works?

8. Nope. I was just being snarky.
Perhaps Oingo has been devoured by Google in Bing and thus gone the way of the dodo?

However, on the bright side, you can always check out Oingo Boingo - formerly an American new wave band.

6. Good old MS
Steal an existing idea and slap a new name on it.

It's called "the semantic web" and so far, it's a whole lot of meh.
