For example, when you type in my name, Martin Bremm, vivisimo will show you a lot of German's beautiful places. While my family and I live in Leesburg, VA (US) since over 5 years now, my ancestors are form the "Mosel" area, that mainly produces wine for export and ravishing views for visitors and tourists. In fact, some of my grand grand parents owned 3/4 of Zell; there is a little river called Bremm, we had a real knight etc. Google doesn't do that (can I say this here??) Sure enough, in today's world of data (i.e. not information) overflow, produced by technology and in breathtaking speed we do need more technology to extract useful "information". Plain lists of regular search engines worked "ok" 2-3 years ago and before everyone knew about the trillions of webpages and how to produce tons of more related and unrelated content. Unfortunately, that's not how our brain works; thus classification and its upcoming ASSOCIATIONS within PERSONAL CONTEXT is of essence in next generation "information discovery tools". It instantly creates a browsable "mini universe" based on my very own preferences. Well, looking for "computer" in google produces whopping 664,000,000 results. If I want to find anything useful, I need to know beforehand, what might be in this big bit bucket and assume some context. Too bad if I'm using a different language (was it 'pc' or 'computer' or 'notebook' or 'laptop' or just 'home comuter'?). Anyways, so much for 'aggravation'. With all the popularity I have no clue, why google doesn't use more advanced concepts of content classification. On the other hand, vivisimo catches even more results, but the classifyer simply "guides" me to the nearest neighbour. I tell you, I LOVE information hiding and filtering on user level so much... Anyways. thanks for listening to my post; keep up the good work and grow. Cheers, Martin. PS: If I could make a wish, it would put the "search for more results like this" as little icon on any entry of the cluster tree. speed++.
