Powerlabs Intro

[Delaypat]

its going to be the future...I want to invest!

[craigmaxey]

This appears to be an attempt at cool, which fails. The most important message should be the reason why a user would get better relevancy of results. Imagine an animation that illustrates the parsing of text and the subsequent impact on the quality of results. Nail the essence and spend a few bucks on folks that can deliver cool.

[Iceman522]

Seems like it will be a great product. I do agree with some of the other comments though. The presentation was lacking a little. Possibly have someone else work the camera next time.

[PDValentine]

Mac friendly?

[philosophygeek]

Absolutely! Powerset issues a brand-new MacBook pro to every new employee, so we're beyond Mac-friendly. . . we're in love =)

[KTAUNO]

I guess I missed the piercing that eveyone seems so concerned about. Silly me, I was more interested in what he was talking about. Yeah, I'm an old man I guess (at 53), but he seems like such a nice, earnest young fellow...

[techguyjames]

Lose the eyebrow piercing, button up that shirt, and put on a tie. Stand still and stop lifting your eyebrows every few seconds (its distracting from what you are saying). Why isn't someone else with you on this? A second person should have been controlling the camera and the computer you are recording on. You ending it like that doesn't look good for you, your company, or anything you are trying to sell me.

[PDValentine]

techguyjames = pompous conservative fool.

[techguyjames]

I'm not being pompous. I was expecting more professionalism from a startup online posting a video to YouTube.  Besides, any piercings beyond the ears on anyone doesn't look good--many company's dress codes label them as forbidden anyways due to lack of professionalism.

[dwlarson01]

Too many "a's" and "um's" for a presentation.

[DarthNockelsmytheee]

A pierced eyebrow?! You look like a little boy at his bar mitzvah, and you've got a pierced eyebrow?!

[baisezle]

No offense meant Mark. Call me jealous and old. Well it's back to my Ramen Noodles and my recliner. You probably are lunching at another Bay Area hot spot for your fiddles.

[baisezle]

Mark has all the coding prowess to be a head honcho at Powerlabs, but he's displaying a itty-bitty eyebrow piercing. Is this l'il show of rebellion to express that: 1) you haven't completely sold out to the evil corporate powers, 2) that you're testing the waters of the dark side?, or that you're 3) hoping your bit-o-hip gets you laid?

[ernstfuld]

Awesome how feature rich the powerset platform is! Never seen such a promising startup, can I buy shares? You scare the sh*t out of Google's pants with such an amazing good presentation!

[user225937]

I would have done better than this video for a presentation to my book club.. What's with the block wall background and the pipes? The video sent the image of college freshmen working in a garage behind the apartment. That is probably a false image but why send me something that leads in that direction? Redo the video with some sharp graphics and hang a curtain over that wall.

[tsvisabo]

rofl...they are so far away behind Linguistic Agents Ltd

[zanydj]

Well said thecrystalball. This video didn't show anything, at least I expected some kind of preliminary demo.

[thecrystalball]

The video doesn't say much about anything...as long as I am willing to take the time to watch it, please take the time to say something that extends beyond marketing blah blah.

[sbm0106]

Powersetの検索エンジンの公開がますます楽しみになって­きましたね。

[techshrek]

Interesting movie...

I came across a similar product from Linguistic Agents, from what I saw it looks like their also going to take search into the next level.

check out the website: linguistic agents

[nofekkinusernames]

Why do American geeks always sound like they've inhaled a ton of helium?

[kenji4861]

Heard so much about this, I can't wait to see a demo.

[thaiversand24]

We wish for the future good luck and a good Start ! The Video looks very familar and honest. Look forward !

[realkiwiscanfly]

I also want a demo!

[cotty1982]

Sounds & looks very promising after watching this video & checking out your website. Good luck all who are working on Powerlabs - Can't wait for September!

[cayorodriguez]

A big pile of ... hype. Show us a demo.

[sacapiloa]

hey, this is great. i really wanna compliment u on the attitude youve taken with this project. the people who dont like this video are just uninterested people who want to use the product. i commend u for opening up a call for people that actually want to participate, i hope i will be able to pitch in.

[emirogluk]

not a useful video! what do I care what is cool inside your company or not? tell me a little bit aobut the product.

[dmihovilovic]

Not a very useful video.. :-(

[xujie8410]

WE want a Demo

[grasshopper064]

this guy reminds me of BillG, guess it is the glasses. they seem to be building something outworldly wonder if they know what they are doing!! meanwhile i would pay to watch them kick google ass.

[coBritis]

powerset CAN beat Google

[steveone03]

"Beat" is a vague term. Beat in what sense? Accuracy of search results? Speed and performance? Scalability? Natural language capabilities?

[mrmirz]

AskMeNow is doing something like this too

[danieleder]

powerset can't beat google.

[faustoc4]

Who cares. New technology benefits everyone. It's not about beating companies is about making new and better software.

[hugobarauna]

That video just left more curious about it... Do you think that Powerset can beat google? I would like to see an enterprise that could do that. The probem is that Microsoft already have the desktop business. It seems that now, google want to do the same with internet, we have just to see that almost every new magnific internet startup is bougth by google.

Ok, let´s see what Powerset can do about it...

[visage808]

Great! There was me expecting to see some footage of the interface in action on a couple of test queries...

[dberkowitz]

Can't wait to see what's coming.

[hadrienboye]

a demo worth a thousand words

[RiCkY47]

cool (H)

[crossthelimit]

we are waiting for the next generation search. Something more than a keyword search. More direct and relevant. More personalization. And one from where we can make money :)
