Microsoft buys Powerset
I’ve been a big fan of these guys since I heard about them earlier this year and I wont search Wikipedia without using them.
Microsoft need to differentiate in the search space to gain momentum and share. Doing the same thing as everyone else is not the right approach. Powerset helps us do that. Currently they do contextual searching for Wikipedia, but the aim is to use their technology and expertise in searching the web in a far more intuitive and human way!
