My prediction: this search engine will be a failure in terms of popularity but the company will likely be acquired by a major search player anyway.



Sounds pretty likely. It'll be hard for them to make much of an impact. But who else is working on innovating in basic search? Seems like everyone is working on social or vertical or presentation aspects. So they're well set up for an acquisition, I think by someone who wants to become a major search player but isn't there yet.
