Microsoft recently purchased FAST for $1.2 Billion (USD), and is now attempting an acquisition of Yahoo. Google is now the number one most recognized brand in the world, for the second year in a row. The search market is HOT – and for good reason.
Content is useless if no one can FIND it.
OK, to readers of my blog, this is not new (see earlier posts). This is a shameless request for a favor.
AIIM Market Intelligence is embarking on a market study on the state-of-the-art on Findability (the quality of being locatable or navigable, includes technologies and concepts such as Search, Taxonomies, Information Architecture, Auto-Classification, Agents, Discovery, Ontologies, and the Semantic Web),
and I would very much appreciate it if you can take a survey on the topic. (You can find the survey at
http://aiimMarketIntelligence.questionpro.com/.
It should only take you about 20 minutes to take.
If you participate you will receive:
* An early FREE copy of the findings
* An invitation to a FREE live web briefing on the results
* A chance to win one of 25 gift certificates worth $25 USD for Amazon.com.
In either case, stay tuned, the Market IQ on Findability will be available the last week of June 2008, as will a webinar on the findings. Of course, I am sure to be blogging on the results before then as well.
Thank you.
