Powerset Update

I'm tickled by the new Powerset site. Powerset is doing something that really excites me - applying natural language processing to the problem of search. The reason the new site is of interest to this blog is partly due to that, but also due to the fact that they redesigned the site in part to be better positioned to respond to blog conversations about their company. A little over a week ago, Powerset was at the centre of a moderate blogstorm in which various pundits traded views on the value and promise of natural language search. At that time Barney Pell (CEO) responded on his own blog, as did a few other Powerseters. With the new site, they have both a press release section and a corporate blog at the ready.
