Exactly. And I know from an engineer's perspective this is tough. The stuff behind the scenes is really amazing, I'm sure, but the thing that truly matters is the product.
This offering just doesn't stack up versus Google, even when you use both solely to search Wikipedia.
My feeling isn't annoyance, but disappointment. Where's my revolutionary new search engine?!?
I get the impression their plan is so grandiose that it probably won't ever reach a completed form... The context they've added to wikipedia is neat, but what would they do to present a site I made a week ago? Are they adding this extra context only to the popular sites? Framework based, perhaps?
I think I'd want context for all sites, or not at all. I prefer consistency over occasional glitz.
Hmm... point taken. Maybe this deserves an Ask YC, but what is the general opinion of naming companies in an quasi-arrogant fasion. Powerset seems like a cocky name compared to Google, which is even mispeled making me think they're humble.
