Search Engines - aw yeah!

1. First Semantic Search Engine? Business search company ZoomInfo announced today the launch of what it’s calling the first-ever semantic search engine. But is it really? Semantic search means different things to different people. They favor all technology that improves search results, but questioned whether any site could claim the title of “first” semantic search engine. ZoomInfo comes up wid that: ZoomInfo vice president of products and marketing Russell Glass enthuses that it’s “the first example of really disruptive value being created with semantic search and semantic technologies.” He said big search companies return results that are too broad to be helpful, and described traditional business information companies as “dinosaurs,” which rely on time-intensive data gathering.

"But Microsoft's model-based approach to it is a more appealing ideal." [hmmm....TODO: Gotta read more about tha...
