i wrote about Teoma, a new search engine from the Ask Jeeves people. I wondered how they chose their "expert" sites, and e-mailed. They've replied:
- How expert links work: By looking at the Web from a local perspective in addition to a global perspective, Teoma locates naturally occurring clusters - or communities - to create sub-topics within a particular subject. Our advanced technology then identifies and organizes sites created by people or groups that are based on a shared interest within that sub-topic. These sites, which we identify as "Expert Links" or "Resources," feature comprehensive lists of relevant links about the query.
Lots of words, not much meaning, so i asked further.
