IBM and Web Search, More
I spotted two interesting posts on ResourceShelf today.
1) Web Search--IBM
Source: Forbes
What Does IBM's "Web Fountain" Have To Do With Web Search?
Here is something we will be keeping an eye on. In an article about research at IBM we learn the following, "One of the ways IBM has done that is a program called "first of a kind." This happens when researchers meet with a customer to develop a custom product. Sometimes, if the custom product is successful, IBM will replicate the product and sell it to other customers. This is the case with something called Web Fountain, which [Paul] Horn, [IBM's senior vice president of researchHorn] refers to as "Google on steroids."

2) What's a Nutch?
Yesterday's ResourceShelf featured a post with an article and a bunch of links about new search technology from IBM called Web Fountain. Make sure to take a look. Today, I was looking at the August, 2003 Business 2.0 and noticed an article about Nutch, an open source engine project with some big name advisers. The article is not available full-text online so I've prepared a brief overview of the Nutch project. The info comes from the Nutch.Org web site.
