Justin G.,

as you can see I am a newbie here. I don’t have a microsoft account, so I’ll put my request here: I would like to be a contributor.
That way, I don’t have to keep pushing those year old threads up.

Don’t know what this site looked/performed before, but I think it’s cool.

BTW, my name is Lisa S.

I played around with it a bit, sure enough, the NLP stuff seems to be really great work. It understood my convoluted queries quite well. However, sometimes it took a long time to give back results, especially with the Wikipedia agent, and not once did I find the results more useful than a well-crafted google keyword search.

Thanks for the feedback. Right now we’re beta so we’re definitely trying to find a nice balance between speed and accuracy.

By the way, what do you mean by “well-crafted” search? Meaning you do site restriction and then search for the keywords with boolean operators?

Drop me an email to explain more.

total bull crap man – I canÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t stand your personal shilling in a previously unsullied animal activist community resource.

Haha, very funny Garrett. Thanks again for the interview.

Basically, still needs some quality loving. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

I didn’t mind. In my first comment I was being facetious. If I had minded I would have said, “I don’t come here to listen to you hawk your wares.”

<3 Marketing Guru.

It’s probably an awesome idea, but it sounds to me like it’ll end up being seen as more of a tech-demo for the natural language stuff you guys did than anything else.

Yup. It’s his site. If you don’t like it, go read something else.

Didn’t look like pimping to me. I was curious where you had been, now I know.

If you are the overlord of Donklephant I don’t see a problem with you posting about projects you are involved with. Seems like an interesting search tool too.

I can’t blame you Justin. I took a look at it and its a program that I’d actually use. So come Monday I’ll be signing up for the beta.

Let’s see, how much did we pay to read this blog? Nothing? Then I guess it’s your blog and you can post what you like.

At first… I was put off by the blatant hproduct hawking … but, I have decided to let “BYOMS be BYOMS”
