---- Teoma's opinion of PageRank

All I know is once you figure out the game at Teoma, you can search many times faster than you can at google.

At Google, the game is figuring out the right keyword combination to get the se to fess up the page you are really looking for.

At Teoma, the game is search once and click 2-3 times. It's a rare breath of fresh air and I strongly believe Teoma has a Google competitor on their hands if they can increase the db site to 1b+ (which is a non-trivial increase) and resist the seductive forces of paid inclusion.

I'm rather surprised Google hasn't seen what the Teoma search system represents and responded with their own.
Searching with Teoma is multiplicably easier than searching with Google.

I searched for a specific set of links on Google for almost a half hour. It was a difficult keyword set. It was general, but I needed specific info (like searching for windows).

I went to Teoma, put in "windows", clicked down the refine options 3 times, and the page I wanted was there. Under a minute searching compared to a half hour of failure at Google. That's what Teoma represents. The interface is a better, faster way to search.
