Powerset, a legend “google killer”, everybody are expecting something fresh from them to make us suprise, including myself.

But I just felt something don’t right… I don’t know what it is and why I feel so, maybe just 6th sense? :) I write this blog as a record of what I think right now, and maybe in the future I will have chance to know what makes me think stupidand will be helpful to let me learn how to look forward something I may never imaged before.

Here is what I heard about Powerset (or rather say what I think they are after I read those buzz and subcribe to their Powerlab as a “Powerlabber”, maybe some mistakes):

1. They rasied a bunch of $$$ before the release anything to public;

2. Their website is as empty as google in the early years, except google can provide search they don’t;

3. They use Amazon’s EC2 and S3, so they don’t have to host a lot of servers and rent IDC racks;

4. They use Ruby on Rails to develop front end, they will have great guy to make Rails as fast as XXX; so they don’t worry about scaling;

5. Since I join Powerlab, I received nothing really interesting… The actual lab till now is still just a mail list, all I get was a private unaccessable Youetube video link, and finally when I can view it, it just tell me almost nothing except one well know screen shot.

So I just feel something is not right… but have no idea what’s not right and why I feel not right. Let’s just wait and see what Powerset guy will bring us and how to make us surprise.

    We aren’t a Google-killer yet and we humbly submit to all of the good that Google has done in the search world. But we are trying to make search better =)

    Powerlabs is going to be opening its doors in September. Then you can play with Powerset and tell us what you think of our product.

    Thanks for your comment. :)

    Yes, we are all expecting…Just feel let us wait a little big too long and the information you released contain too little real information. Look at the comments on that youtube video, many people cried for a demo rather than abstract things.

    [...] 个人有种感觉,和去年对powerset的看法类似,就是觉得something not right, 至于是哪里not right, 我也说不上来。 如今powerset挑战google的梦想已经破碎了,成为了我的同事. 不知道Cuil的未来如何? Related Posts为6分钱花了6百一直计划着春天来了全家去什么地方旅行,结果机会来了,昨天有人发给我
