		<description>@28 I don't work Google company. I spend hours program Google widget stuff.  Shame on you for not reading Google TOS clearly.

9.2 Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use any of Google’s trade names, trade marks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.

Please let us know if you brought Google Licenses -- Print Newspaper or Blogs. Stop lying about hype thing.  Stop wasting our time reading charts. 
Now, Xerox Licenses don't work with Google Licenses. They are like oxymoron company. You have make search engine that flies like kitty hawk! That's hype.

I saw the demo. It's not really hype. You killed the hype.  I start believeing powerset hype. But you killed the hype. Go back reinvented hype!</description>

		<description>Wow -- this can be used for most SEOs and SEMs for data mining purposes. The coolest part of this data mining situation is that one can forecast what will happen and how the search topography will change in the future. Imagine what this will be like for forecasting and imagine how loved these types of tools will be. 

Are there other tools to do trending and forecasting or does my Trending article (http://wiki.imarketingguru.com/index.php?title=Trending) say it all?</description>

		<description>My task today was to help my team figure out how whether we should use EC2 or not. I can't use the dashboard as it is, but I can definitely leverage the ideas. Not sure why Powerset shared them, perhaps for the marketing or as a side project, but it helped me. So thanks guys.

As for the other comments, shame on you.</description>

		<description>I saw the demo. I think Google might sue Powerset for violating TOS. 

They have start over, over, and over again. No press told us that Powerset plans to use Google custom search. Instead. They would use PHP to strip the site from Google's page. I think it's against TOS or google's policy to transmit content in their site. 

With million dollar. I think Powerset should buy google licenses.


I think Google guys would get piss off if Powerset use Google content off the site without using Google Javascript custom search.</description>

		<description>@valleyblogmagazine -  You need a lot of processing power initially to feed the index to capture a minimum document set.  You'll notice from the graphs that effectively what is being done is to accelerate an organic index rate so that they can launch, say, in 3 months as opposed to 9.  This organic index rate would be split between refreshes and new docs moving forward. 

This is why the use of virtual servers are a good idea initially, because unlike a lease which will commit you to ongoing monthly recurring payments, you can excellerate your expenditure initially but then ramp down your cost structure going forward.  

So, part of the calculations in your cost modeling is to work out where your breakeven point is.  Also, the timing of the launch should be such that when you move out of the virtual server phase that you are able to make your purchase at an optimal speed vs cost point (typically just prior to a new model launch).</description>

		<description>I don't get  -- "Hype thing".  I'm very confused with Google's TOS.

Does Google allow million dollar powerset to use Google search result rather than licensing or use custom search?

Too compete Google or Not compete Google. You shouldn't use Google search results if you were competing Google company. I think you should compete Yahoo or Hakia instead of Google.


I'm confuse with powerset hype. You guys let me down.... I've been avid, fan, and stalking powerset for weeks. Now, you let me down . :(</description>

		<description>Mark,

You seem well intentioned but the truth is that your search engine still hasn't launched. Most of us believe that you will sink or swim based purely on how good your relevancy is, along with how fast your query response times are. Everything else is superfluous. You need to launch a quality index with good relevancy. That's all that matters now.

		<description>Hey guys, this is Mark Johnson, the product manager for Powerlabs.  Just to respond to a few of the comments above. . . this wasn't a waste of time or distraction for us: we had to make the models anyway and putting it in Flash was pretty easy, since we used Xcelsius.  Neal is our intern for the summer and it was a good exercise for him.  In terms of product, I encourage you to check out the  videos that Chuck posted.  Also, we'll be releasing Powerlabs next month, where you'll be able to play with a number of Powerset product demos.  The wait is almost over!

So, in the meantime, why not actually play with our model and see whatchya think? =)</description>

		<description>I am surprised to see a company put these types of projections into Flash and post them online for the world to see. Not because it is super secret, but because it seems like a waste of time. As a product manager I would think that this is a bit gimmicky and prone to offer little in return for the effort. 

Anyone want to help them out with their models? Not everyone raise your hand at once. Bueller?</description>

		<description>I give these guys little chance of success. Why? Quite simply because they've yet to launch a product. Don't forget that they *internally* have many working protoypes that help them test speed and relevancy. Why not expose them if things look so rosey? Why not? Because my guess is that things are going well for them, and, as such, they need to buy time with these ridiculous side projects. It reminds me of a failed .com from three years ago named Dipsie. Anyone remember those clowns? 

I hate to say it but PowerSet is the real "ClownCo".</description>

		<description>Robert.

I am daily Techcrunch reader for years , and when i see new story about startup , i click on the link to go to the site and view it.

Now i have to click on the link , visit its Crunchbase page , and click again to visit the site , which is unnecessarily in my opinion.

You might consider me lazy man :P , maybe .. but i don't see any value for me by visiting its info page in Cruchbase , and i am sue I'm not going to click on the Ads on that page ;)</description>

		<description>I have to agree with the other commentors. "Powerhype" should be the name of this company. It's also amusing to see them putting out all these models, etc as if that proves anything. Many failed companies had models that never materialized. Let's see a live demo please.</description>
