Yahoo Pissed at Google and Microsoft, Just a “Hunch”!
One of the founders of Yahoo and Flicker was apparently pissed enough at the two internet giants, Microsoft for messing with them and Google for not taking them in, that they have come up with their own crowd-sourcing program called “HUNCH”. Coined as a rival to Yahoo’s Answers and Google’s other sites, it’s aim is to get search results for what is popularly accepted by more people as the right answer to a specific question. More closer to the social internet compared to the search engines from the two other search giants, it takes information fro the many social networking web sites, indexes them and presents them not only to relevance but also according to popularity according to the millions of other users who may have searched for the same information.
Scheduled for release this June 15th, it is set to take a piece of the search market away from the two other biggest search engines, the long running Google search and Microsoft’s newly released Bing. How it will fare is yet to be seen and with many people fueling curiosity, it might as well go on full release from it’s beta form as it continues to evolve and take it’s finals shape and size.
