My son has a national and an international tennis tournament to play
in Austin each year. A number of Bay Area grads have bailed for
opportunities in Austin, Texas. I promised one particular ex-Google
Director who is there now that the network would follow them when she
left. Consider signing up.

"Give, expecting nothing thereof"

Did you ever want search to figure out what you want past page 1 and bring it to you?

Gees-o-pee-dee. Check out Mark Cramer's break through in search. He
went to MIT too but we won't hold that against him! He showed me what
his team was working on a while back and I've been biting my tongue
not to say anything until now. This is going to rocket in popularity.
What a hit. And Mark is a really great guy too. Best,

Perry

"This week Surf Canyon, founded by a Harvard grad, announced the official
release of its Discovery Engine for Search at http://www.SurfCanyon.com. The
browser extension for Internet Explorer and Firefox, designed to
disambiguate user queries in real time, significantly accelerates the search
process.

By using Surf Canyon's semantic real-time implicit personalization
technology while searching on Google, Yahoo! or MSN, searchers are able to
more quickly and easily find relevant information buried within the usually
overwhelming quantity of results. Rather than leaving users to manually
filter through static sets of links, this innovative application uses
real-time behavior signals to calculate "instantaneous relevancies" within a
result set in order to dynamically pull forward the most pertinent results
while pushing back those less germane.

In other words, it figures out what you want and then goes past page 1 and
fetches it for you.

The reviews have been fabulous: http://blog.SurfCanyon.com. Download it and
try it out for yourself, and if you like it, please spread the word."
