A few years ago I took a run at this whole " startup " thing and I would not exactly call the endeavor a ragging success .

I sunk into this hole of building that it is time to come out of and your message from the future makes me feel a lot less crazy .

Thank you for the time you took to write it .

Freebase is a database of things Blekko is a company that classifies things Watson interprets the relationships between classifications . This stuff is way beyond a search engine .

People talking about needing to building a better search engine better get to work because I think that space is almost abandoned .

A recommendation , an opinion , and a result are a hell of a lot different .

Multiple return values zomg is a tempting reason to change .
