They have taken the technology to a large scale proof-of-concept that now need serious financing to take to fully commercial operation.  Value is not all about how many eyeballs are on a site today, but how many can be on the site in the next few years.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Peter Berger</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:26:10 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Powerset: a Hail Mary pass for MSFT?</title><link>http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/06/26/powerset-a-hail-mary-pass-for-msft/#comment-757930</link><description>Now this is genuinely interesting, and potentially bigger than all the Yahoo blah.
