Intelliverb - a review

Posted by Marshall on May 27, 2007 | Link It

Read about Intelliverb in TechCrunch today.  First, I was not able to get to look at the site as too many people were looking at it - but I did manage to get on after I tried a couple more times; but then, after a couple more times, the same thing happened and I got knocked off again.   So the user experience needs work.

As does the range and relevancy of results, as noted by Duncan Riley at TechCrunch:

"..No luck. How about the boss:

Michael Jordon is the first result. Both are tall so I guess it’s at least warm."

Let's take something that intelliverb can answer well enough and compare it to Google:

"..It’s clearly not Google, so the results are fairly accurate. The last question:

I tried to go back and put in my own questions but kept getting a 404.   So right now, I can't see anything good about this search engine - and even if it had some value, the availability issue interferes with me using the search engine.

So what's the worst search engine?  The one you can't use, or that's unusable.

What's kinda weird - I read Emre Sokullu's post in Read/Write Web (who also works for Hakia, which is based here in NYC - or partly in NYC) and tried following the logic.  It's not unlike the kind of estimations…
