@Dean – Currently we are still stuck at Web 2.0. Web 3.0 is slowly evolving and the big players are likely to be the “last” to adapt it. (I’m talking about Semantic Search in particular).

So If a new startup tries to build a engine on the new technology, I’d definitely support them. And I think every1 should too.

Ofcourse we are all using “Google” but right now I’m talking about the “technology”. If hakia or anyone else can make a break-through in Semantic Search – Either that company would be acquired by any of the search giants (to improve their current engine), or it will become a separate engine of it s own.

And If you asked the same question in 1998 people would have said Altavista, excite & other engines cuz Google didn’t even exist back then!

Similarly we don’t really know whats going to happen in 10 years from now! Microsoft being the PIONEER of OS and holding over 95% share are still having hard time to compete with Google (which was Just a Masters Research project of two Stanford Student).

So If this is possible…Anything is possible

@Saad -

I agree with you about the need for competition, but Google will get its true “competition” (i.e the fight for revenue) from Yahoo and MSFT (and maaaaaybe Ask). The only real purpose search for engines like Hakia are to give the market leaders new ideas on features and and functionality.

Don’t believe me? Would all Marketing Pilgrim users who use a search engine other than Google, Yahoo, MSFT, and Ask, please raise your hand. Bonus points if you have adopted Hakia. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

@Dean – The world doesn’t need a lot of things…but still there are new things coming up every day For example, the world didn’t need yet ‘another’ social network but Facebook evolved recently and now doing really well.

Unless there is tight competition in the market, the existing products will never improve. The reason Google still works hard to make their engine better is cuz they are always under pressure (even though they have over 60% market share in US).

Do they think they'll get bought out quicker if they have a nicer design? The technology is the key, they have that. They just need to market a bit more. Utah SEO Pro's last blog post..Link Metrics for SEO

If you’re 4 years old and nobody has heard of you (I don’t think I am alone)then you’re “new”

Then Hakia’s in luck, Dean, since it’s a relatively well-established addition to the world of search engines at a whopping four years old.

Note to Hakia: The world doesn’t need/want another search engine.

First time I’ve heard of Hakia. I will definitely go and poke around and play with it a bit. Health and Environment is two of my favourite subjets, so I am looking forward to see Hakia’s offering in operation.

Yup, it’s not such a great design. But hey, let’s see how the masses will respond to it.

By just including two topics in their search engine they will be loosing a lot of visitors and searches on their website. They need to start adding more topics or people will just loose interest. QuickPWN's last blog post..Install Flash Player iPhone App

Either I or Hakia has been hiding under a rock. Whichever way it is, I have never heard of them before this article.

pffft. Why would "Health care" fall under the "Health" category. This is only a search engine we are talking about here. SoLinkable's last blog post..Cyanide And Happiness
