BTW it still takes thousands of computers to index and process the web... Yahoo and Google just did it for them.; Like this Reply to this comment


by wesley_davis2 August 4, 2008 9:59 PM PDT: i disagree. boss mashup lets you access yahoo's search apis and join them with other data sources (SQL support, no parsing necessary as it auto infers and unifies formats). this integration by vik lets you do all these operations on google's servers.

i do agree that indexing and building a search engine is harder than this integration ... but then again, what app or project is more innovative than search? ;); Like this Reply to this comment
