There was just too much news for our little ol’ newsletter this week. We really wanted to include this item but space was limited and the story is still in development. Here’s a hint for next week though:

IBM announced last week that its enterprise search engine, WEBFOUNTAIN is almost ready. Webfountain will be used by by businesses to find and contextualize information from anywhere within a corporate or business intranet. The most advanced feature is the contextualization of information, (not to be confused with contextual advertising), that will provide a user with definitions of industry specific terms and phrases as well as finding documents on similar topics for extra research. For more information on Webfountain, please visit the IBM Almaden Research Center at www.almaden.ibm.com/WebFountain (link no longer active)
