Hm, Ink (MSN) is by far #2 in my logs :) But yes, in part, I think Teoma also does well because they have a research paper out there :) and Brett mentioned it, after his interview with their founder...

So - I would argue that academic roots = better SE - but taking it one step further, research = better SE. And Google, by far, seems to have the most (current) research articles floating about, with this or that bit in them...patents help to - Inktomi / Altavista I think have the most 2 of any engine (so far...)

What does Alltheweb have, in terms of 'academic' claims to fame...?
