There are over 50 companies involved in the initiative and while PubSub has played a large role, it is the community that keeps it alive.

Fri, 30 Jun 2006 01:21:07 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/06/06/pubub-implosion/#comment-88040 [...] We search in different ways for different purposes. In some cases I’ll do a one-time search to find, say, a particular web site or news story. In other cases I’ll do repeated searches to learn more and more about a topic in which I have a lasting interest. This second kind of searching is likely to become more important as more people begin to use syndicated content. An existing technology based on syndication is what Bill Burnham calls “Persistent Search”, and what the folks at (the ailing?) PubSub call “prospective search”. In persistent search, standing queries are stored on a server and matched against newly published pieces of web content (such as RSS feeds). It is now possible, using PubSub, Google Alerts, and other persistent search services, to enter a search query and receive matching documents either as they are published or at regular intervals of your choosing. These services accept keyword and phrase queries, just like standard search engines. Persistent search, which Burnham calls the “next big battleground”, presents a great opportunity to address a major shortcoming of search by changing the kinds of search queries people use and the way those queries are constructed. The shortcoming I have in mind is the simple fact that people are not usually looking for keywords or phrases when they search text on the web. They are looking for ideas, regardless of how they might be expressed. If people want to collect recommendations about cheap hotels, for example, they don’t care whether they do it by matching “cheap hotels” or “budget hotels” or “hotels with low rates” or “hotels for the budget traveler” or none of the above. They want to get hits that are about what all these phrases are about. Now, actually searching for ideas would require search engines to understand texts, and that ain’t happening any time soon (or maybe ever). But a way to approximate idea search in this context would be to recognize different ways to paraphrase what the user actually types in. Even this (relatively) modest NLP problem is not easily solved by existing techniques. The problem goes beyond simple synonym detection, because it requires recognizing meaning equivalences between phrases that are not structurally parallel (e.g. “cheap hotels” and “hotels with low rates”). So why does persistent search offer an opportunity to attack this thorny problem? Because it is all about finding multiple matches for each query, spread out over time. In the technical jargon of information retrieval, persistent search places as much emphasis on recall (getting as many relevant hits as possible) as on precision (making sure all your hits are relevant). This means that the kinds of queries people are used to entering in search engines aren’t going to do the trick. For the “cheap hotel” search, for example, keywords alone will probably give us very poor precision, but a single phrase (or a couple phrases) will give us very poor recall. People need to change their search behavior to get the most out of persistent search, but they don’t yet know how. Fortunately, the fact that persistent search is persistent–it involves standing queries stored on a server–means there is an opportunity to invest more time and effort in each query than the couple of seconds most people take to type a query into a search engine. And, in this era of collective web intelligence, this time and effort need not be sacrificed by one person alone. These are some of the ideas behind my admittedly ambitious decision to found Phrasetrain, which will aggregate users’ decisions about meaning equivalences to begin to tackle the recall problem in persistent search. I think this approach makes a lot of sense not only from the perspective of search (for the reasons described in this post), but from the perspectives of linguistics and NLP (which I’ll discuss in a future post). I really think that Phrasetrain can, with the help of its users (and others), be something useful, cool, and doable, but it’s going to be difficult, and we’re going to start small and avoid implausible hype about artificial intelligence. I would be happy to hear from people who have comments or ideas, or who might even be interested in getting involved (for email, use the address you find through the Phrasetrain link).

Being purchased by Google, Yahoo, IAC, or News Corp should not be the end game, it should be one of many viable exit strategies. As you alluded in your previous post, making money should be the priority. I must not be the only one worried, jaded, or negative as this very post now lives in the Deadpool. http://www.techcrunch.com/tag/DEADPOOL/ As for your comments, I'm not sure where I am condeming the efforts for change. I'm very happy that the entire software industry has been tossed on its head over the past two years as it started to rebound and that new methods of interface design and engineering have emerged. Its exciting to see my customers talk about moving away from their embeded JSP pages, 5 step processes, and actually wanting to learn dom based javascript and AJAX principles because the finally get it that usability is important.
