Hello,

As you know, the Theme Zoom technology was inspired by co-occurrence and the "co-occurrence matrix" which was a primary concept in several Google patents containing Anna Patterson name as one of the inventors.

Anna, who left Google in 2004, is giving them a run for their money.

Ex-Google engineers have formed a team that is developing a new search engine technology called Cuil.

The Cuil development is something that you should keep on your radar. I predict Google will face serious competition from other search innovations and technologies due to their general lack of focus. When you focus on everything, you get nothing done (unless you have serious multi-threading and context shifting bandwidth). To say the least . . . Anna Patterson and team are staying focused on ONE THING: Much deeper and much faster data retrieval than Google is currently indexing.

Is such a technology useful? Does it answer questions that the market is ready to ask?

We shall see.
