In the long run know one knows if Congoo or other search related projects will succeed or fail. But Charlene Li's argument that it is going to be real hard to change people's search behavior has little relevance, in my opinion. That could be said about any new idea or technology. Accepting the status quo simply means the death of progress. Congoo may take some time to catch on, and it may never catch on. But it could also lead to the next big business model for search engines- negotiating with content providers to generate traffic and revenue to both the search engine as well as the providers.

Oscar,

Maybe instead of pursuing the suicidal strategy of locking their content away, publishers should open it up to anyone who wants to consume it. Monetization is through advertising and services. It's not that publishers are being systematically destroyed - it's that they're refusing to adapt to the new economic environment. More here:

All research shows very clearly that no one has an allegiance to any search engines, as a matter of fact Ms. Lee has been quoted several times saying that so which is it? Why wouldnt a publisher do this, they are systematically being destroyed by search engines that DONT features their content, making them less and less relevant to bloggers and SEO optimized pages.

Brian - that's ok, we're sticking with generic names since I think it's better than narrowing your scope from the outset. I'll let you know when the beta starts (should be early 2006, perhaps earlier).

Pete,
If I had ANY idea wtf your software did, I could come up with a few names. However I still don't "get it" send me a beta invite or something breslin[at]infinimedia.com and i will send you suggestions.

Brian,

I'm working on a project called Noodly - I'm in no position to say another company has a stupid name. :)

BTW: If anyone comes up with a better name than Noodly, I'd be happy to change it. "Vorro" was another possibility for us. The oo's do get annoying, but they're certainly easier to spell than del.icio.us (although delicious.com now redirects to del.icio.us).

alright not to sound like a pessimist, but what the heck is going on w/the naming of these companies recently?
