Two notable search startups had news in the past day:
Kosmix launched horizontal topics, quietly at first, then TC caught on.
And SearchMe is mining new visual search approaches. Marketing Pilgrim has more.

Two notable search startups had news in the past day: Kosmix launched horizontal topics, quietly at first, then TC caught on. And SearchMe is mining new visual search approaches. Marketing Pilgrim has more….
Before I follow those links — why are those startups supposedly “notable”?
Kosmix is a good resource to look out things on net. It looks out for a search keyword on every “Segment” on net and presents it on a single page, be it:
web
Video
Social networking sites
Myspace etc
Never had much exp with SearchMe and Caught On.

@nmw – SearchMe is backed by Sequoia, and is doing a full web index. Kosmix is from two notable entrepreneurs with good track records in the space.
Thanks, John 🙂
I like lightweight applications — if I have to wait more than a fraction of a second for something to happen, then I get impationent and start twiddling my thumbs…

John, thanks for the post!
One clarification: at Kosmix, we don’t think we’re building a search engine, but something entirely new and different. Search engines are great for finding needles in haystacks. Kosmix is about exploring the haystack. Details here:
