Somehow this sounds so familiar

search_128x128 TechCrunch is reporting today on the fact that Microsoft is apparently pulling together a team of superstar developers to start work on … get ready … the next generation search engine.

Microsoft has gathered a team of twenty or more ?rock star? developers who?ve been tasked at building their next generation search engine, a source has told us. The team, which supposedly came together recently, is based at Microsoft?s Silicon Valley headquarters in Mountain View.

We have few details on their approach to the product, other than hearing that it is definitely a ?horizontal? engine (so, it?s not limited to a specific vertical like images), and is ?very cool.?

Now I’m not one to blow my own horn but damn doesn’t this sound some what familiar to

While I agree with both of these gentlemen I would also add to that that it is time for another skunkworks project - another start.com

This was part of an article I wrote back in January that basically suggested that it was time for Microsoft to start over again because Live.com search was proving to be a borderline failure in the search world.

Do you think Microsoft might have been listening? … Naaa
