I wrote about Spock not too long ago and ever since that post, I never really got back to using it. The initial hype died down and ultimately, it never had anything cool or awesome enough for me to stick to it. Even for people searches, I use linkedin or google, still.

Now there is another search engine called Powerset. This search engine allows users “to write their queries in natural language“. Whatever that means, it doesn’t mean a whole lot to me. These sort of search engines will only be used for very specific queries which one might run through google, technorati, wikipedia etc first before anything else. Also, how often do we have very specific queries? Even if we do, will we remember a Powerset or a Spock?
