Now all they have to do is scale that to a real search engine size (approx. 1000x bigger - so we have something to search) and scale it to load (so we can all use it at the same time) . That is the real problem. NLP has been around for decades. They do seem to have excellent technology in place for creating headlines and raising money. Unfortunately they are where the other engines were 10 years ago when the power of one computer was as powerful as my current phone.

A "demo"? Why don't you just send some more BS screenshots. Lets be realistic, even if there are 50,000 or 100,000 of us geeks out there reading posts like this that would be generous. Open up the labs if you have something. Geez, they even spew the spin in blog comments - “the demand has been completely overwhelming”. A “demo”? Why don’t you just send some more BS screenshots.

Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you want a demo. Hi, this is Mark Johnson, the product manager of Powerset Labs.
