Alexa Web Search Discontinued By Amazon. Yawn

by Jason Wilk on November 27, 2008

  • Remember Alexa Web Search? Yeah, neither do I. Anyways, Amazon has decided to discontinue the service as of today.
  • For those that haven’t heard of it:
    • “The Alexa Web Search Platform provides public access to the vast web crawl collected by Alexa Internet. Users can search and process billions of documents — even create their own search engines — using Alexa’s search and publication tools. Alexa provides compute and storage resources that allow users to quickly process and store large amounts of web data. Users can view the results of their processes interactively, transfer the results to their home machine, or publish them as a new web service”
  • This won’t affect any stock prices. This is a longley under appreciated product that was waiting for the end to come.
