Day 1 Post

April 9th, 2007 by Emre Sokullu, Search Evangelist

emre.jpgNot everyone is lucky enough to work for something that he or she truly believes is going to change the world. Well, I’m proud to say that I’m one of those lucky ones. This post is to announce that I’ve started working for hakia as a Search Evangelist. In my non-hakia time, I contribute to the Read/WriteWeb as a writer and grow my company, Groups.

I’m here with a team of motivated people, who are well aware that they are building something new. As you know, hakia’s purpose is to extract bits of meaning from zillions of pages on the internet and give you control over them for search. Shifting a technology and flowing in and around the boundaries of science is a very exciting job and I’ll take part in this quest as an Evangelist.

I invite you all to share our excitement and give us continuous feedback. Come, check, report back our progress and iterate this process. This is exactly what I was doing, as a hakia user, before joining the team. Be part of something new!

    We worked together before. I know how he is working :) so its not a very interesting new for me. He is always thinking in normal workdays and u can understand when he is thinking. Because he is not answering your questions when he is thinking about something after being processed fully :P

    The thing I do not like about the common search engines is, that they do not recognize documents with similar content. It happens often on the Web that a post or document is spread out over more then 50 websites. Now that is great for the author but not for the searcher because it blows up your search result unnecessarily. With InfoCodex this will not happen because the linguistical database recognizes similar documents and puts them into groups. This does not blow up your search result unnecessarily.

    Three things a modern Search engine should do:

    1. Automatically classify a document according to its content.
    2. Automatically generate an abstract of a document.
    3. Generate a Heat-Map of the Contents of a Search Result.
