How To Overhype Your Search Engine
(Search Engine Land)
After covering search for 13 years, I’m more than a little jaded. I’ve seen any number of search start-ups promise to revolutionize how we search. None of them have in the huge way they’ve promised, other than Google — and it’s a special case. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been watching Wolfram Alpha walk the same hype path so many have followed before. So I thought I’d offer a little advice, for what it’s worth. Here’s how to set your search service up for a disappointing fall.
1) Fail to brief those in the know
2) Use controlled demonstrations
3) Claim you’re the “next Google” or fail to set expectations
4) Trot out big names with no connection to search
5) Offer me or anyone an “exclusive” to break your launch

Happy 20th birthday, World Wide Web - and here's to another 20! (About.com)
Today, March 13, is the twentieth anniversary of the World Wide Web. On this date twenty years ago, Sir Tim Berners-Lee submitted his historical Information Management: A Proposal document, basically a blueprint by which the scientific community could easily share and search their information.
His far-reaching paper led to the development of HTML, which is the language that initially enabled us all to see documents on the Web, and links to leap from one place to another easily.
