powerset launched but not as a competitor to google
abstract:
In spite of widely buzzed applause for Powerset.com, which launched in early December, few are going to see it as a true competitor to Google. In fact, Powerset doesn’t even search the Internet.Powerset is trying to change the very nature of Internet search. Instead of returning a list culled from millions of third-party documents, it uses a natural language search technology and focuses only on Wikipedia and Freebase. In other words, it attempts to “read” each sentence on a web page and look for underlying meaning.
