    Hi,

    Just bumped into this which is claimed as a google killer.

    powerset.com - a natural language search engine under stealth mode as of now look for funding.

    People who have used this, i believe say will never return to google for their search related requirements. Hmmm

    take a look at the venturebeat coverage here...

    and the founder's posting on his blog here...

    Cheers

    They all claim to be Google killers. Yet even Microsoft and Yahoo can't stop Google.

    There seems to be good coverage about this company in the web 2.0 industry.
    And the guy behind this looks like has the credentials. Read through his blog and see what you got to say.

    There was a time when it was felt that can't stop M$, but we all know how they are failing now. So such startups are the beginnings of what is yet to come.

    All but the Italian guy have an entrepreneurial background. This isn't designed to be a Google killer at all, this is designed to be interesting enough to get bought out within 3 years.

    People who have used it claim that they would never return to using Google again. Well... i am yet to get a chance to sue it though... it's better we experience it first.

    Stealthy! I think the phrase is "killed by Google", not "Google killer."
