Over at Alt Search Engines, we've been having a debate about what it takes for a search engine startup to take on Google - a great Algorithm, a terrific new User Interface, or both?
My perspective is that it's the algorithm that is critical; Charles Knight (the editor of ASE), on the other hand, comes down heavily on the side of the UI, and makes a great argument for it in his post. Kaila Colbin, of the vortexDNA blog, has the last word - well, you have to read the posts for yourself before you make up your mind!
Links to the posts are given below:
- The Future of Web Search - Beauty or Brains? by yours truly
- The Greatest Debate: Algorithms vs. Interfaces by Charles Knight
- The Greatest Debate conclusion: Om Shanti Shanti by Kaila Colbin
