Hmmmm, trawling government websites…I can’t wait to see all the goodies this is going to unearth. Some government scandals just waiting to get exposed. Good. Another way to hold government accountable and keep it transparent.

I think trying to building an all purpose search engine to take on google is a fools errand. Don’t think a better mouse can be built and, if it were, how get a toehold in the market against the woolly mammoth? I like the specialty search engine concept that Vivisimo is rolling out. I see they are partnering with the government to create the product (even better).

@Otilia: I can’t see that social media integration will be such a huge plus point over Google CSE, to be frank. Surely it’s a matter of time before Google recognises the potential and integrates that into CSE as well, at which point it’s game over.

This sounds quite interesting, although I agree the main competitor will be CSE (Google's Custom Search Engine). I've used CSE in both its free and business version and its capabilities are really stunning - Velocity's winning point, if played well, can be the social media integration and the opportunities associated with it.

I think Vivisimo provides us with great opportunity to be informed. This is a perfect tool for getting necessary info that may be found in 50 million government documents. Good job and good opportunity!!!

Wow that's the way to find a needle in the hay stack. I guess competition is always healthy in such cases. Eva White's last blog post..Holiday Plans?
