Did Microsoft Waste $100m on Powerset?

by Jason Wilk on September 17, 2008

  • Microsoft recently acquired natural language search engine Powerset.
  • We ran into their founder the other night, and he seemed to not have any exciting news about how Microsoft planned to integrate the technology.
  • Well, today LiveSearch has integrated relative Wikipedia links into their results via Powerset technology. Boring.
  • What crazy things will they be up to next?

Powerset is great technology, but is Microsoft the right company to own it?
