true knowledge
09 Oct 2008Google does a great job at key word searches but it is less adept at answering questions like the follow:
- What time is it at Google Headquarters?
- Is Jennifer Lopez single?
- Who wrote the Principia Mathematica?
- Who are Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren?
- List the US states as of the third July 1832?
- Is a Dolphin a mammal?
The Internet Answer Engine™ true knowledge aims to fix that problem. They’re pioneering technology improves Internet search by understanding complex questions and finding known facts. It’s a hugely cool and ambitious idea. Early beta’s were slow and a bit frustrating but the newest release appears to be much more polished and usable. The demo video is an excellent walk-through with commentary.
I’ve been given 20 invites to this invitation only beta. First come, first serve.
