Which week for tracking technology.

On May 15, the data processing specialist Stephen Wolfram and his team released Wolfram|Alpha, research tools which were compared at Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), but which seems to be much rather the intelligent index this IBM (NYSE: Calls of IBM) Watson.

Google piled up this past week, announcing several improvements with its Search Engine. A device yet-to-Be-released, called Google Squared, creates an assessment of the results, making it possible users to find and operate data much more easily than front. I the ‘VE to still test it, but published descriptions suggest that him ’s directly aimed indices like Watson and Wolfram|Alpha, which hope to reduce the burden on users by supporting answers above only results.

In conclusion, this morning, Wall Street Journal the news this Microsoft (Nasdaq broke: MSFT) will make the next week with public the version of the second generation of its Search Engine of phase, called Kumo. Again, research is suddenly next the large thing.

Fight with Kumo
You with wait until the majority of the observers concentrate on Microsoft during the next weeks. Mr. Softy has the majority to lose if Kumo proves to be a not very impressive interpreter. Here two devices that I will supervise when President Steve Ballmer reveals technology with the newspaper with the ’s D: All the conference of Digitals of things.

1. Precision
The silly thing. A note interns cast of Microsoft published by the newspaper speaks about how 40% of questions of research disappear without answer, and 46% of sessions of research take longer than 20 minutes.

Unfortunately, there ’s no good manners to check that given. But him ’s true that if you employ Google, Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), or IAC ’s (Nasdaq: IACI) Ask.com, results aren ‘t the same ones as answer. In this moment, the users are the last thousand when it comes to the results from filtering from research. Kumo could gain large by employing technology to fill space.

2. Results in real-time
For all Twitter surrounding of exaggeration — and there ‘abundance of S, even here at Fool.com — we know that Google envies the microblogger. Gens wants to really make the substance in real-time and I think that they [Twitter] completed a great work about it. I think that we completed a relatively poor work to create the things which work on a by-second bases, cofounder quoted by The Guardian Larry Page BRITISH of newspaper like saying yesterday.

Microsoft gained to have a good excuse if Kumo does not provide at least some results in real-time. Facebook, its senior partner in the social network management and a user of the Search Engine of Live.com, provide already some data in real-time to the users of the food of news to the house.

Two devices, an occasion. With them, Kumo could be a killer. Without, this ‘d right is more filler on a market of research already dirtied with latecomers.
