New Search Engine - Already rocking

The man behind this new search engine is the same man behind Overture, whom Yahoo! purchased earlier this year.

Overture's patented technology was infringed upon by Google with their, "Adwords" PPC model. In turn, Google shelled out millions and millions to Yahoo! prior to their IPO (Settling a LAWSUIT). Hardly a drop in the bucket for Google though, now, with their bloated stock price.

"Gross and Idealab were behind one of search's big success stories, Overture Services. Last year, Yahoo bought Overture for $1.6 billion. Overture is credited with helping to usher in the growing popularity of the pay-per-click search ads that typically appear alongside Web results."

Perhaps this is Gross's idea of saying :flipof: to Google, for stealing his idea, then making themselves BILLIONaires doing so.

JMHO

My search terms on the engine seem to mirror (Not exactly, but close) Yahoo!'s listings.
