WorldWideWeb – Executive Summary
The WWW project merges the techniques of information retrieval and hypertext to
make an easy but powerful global information system.[...]
The WWW world consists of documents, and links. Indexes are special documents
which, rather than being read, may be searched. The result of such a search is
another ("virtual") document containing links to the documents found. A simple
protocol ("HTTP") is used to allow a browser program to request a keyword
search by a remote information server.[...]

Thinking outside the box: driven by a need to create jobs for an educated young population, the heart of technological entrepreneurship beats fast in Jordan.
If you spend a lot of time reading about start-up internet companies in the Middle East, the same country pops up time and time again: Jordan.
It is one of the smallest nations in the Arab world, lacking the population of Egypt, the wealth of the Gulf or the history of Syria. But what it has, without a doubt, is the most exciting community of technology start-ups in the region.

Today there is a big deal out of http://www.bing.com Microsoft's new "Search 2.0"; it looks interesting. The pitch is that it's a decision engine versus a typical search engine; so more AI is in the picture. In the demo, they use snapshots from what I guess is Kayak.com, hence it might be that Microsoft is doing what Microsoft does best, partnering with other companies in the Search business. Which is something of a double edge sword.
