Future of Vertical Search
An update on my earlier post on this topic: I am moderating a session at the Vertical Search conference next Tuesday 6/28 on the "Future of Vertical Search". The session has come together with a good set of panelists each illustrating themes I think will be critical in the future of vertical search.
Panelists:
- Ofer Ben-Shachar, CEO, RawSugar
- Julia Komissarchik, CTO, Glenbrook Networks
- Paul Pangaro, CTO, Snap.com
- Bob Wyman, CTO, PubSub Concepts
Here is a preview of themes we will be discussing, from the perspectives of the different companies:
- Glenbrook Networks is relevant to the problem of extracting and structuring vertical information directory from millions of web pages. (This capability was pioneered by Whizbang Labs, a company I was part of a few years ago).
- Snap is relevant to the problem of showing many different verticals from a single front-end and with a common UI paradigm for each vertical.
- RawSugar is relevant to the problem of structuring new verticals using tagging.
- PubSub is relevant to the problem of creating an open distribution system for individual records that comprise any vertical search domain.
