Quotes, Attributable to Daniel Yomtobian, President and CEO of ABCSearch:
- "Google, Yahoo, and MSN have done a great job with their algorithms. But there is something missing when you rely purely on computer programs to determine relevancy. Although there have been a few previous attempts to solve this problem there still exists relevancy and scalability issues with other engines."
