Brainoost is an engine of a different color. According to its FAQ,
How is Brainboost different from existing engines like Google?
Brainboost is an answer engine whereas Google is a Search engine. What that means is that Brainboost actually finds answers to your questions posed in plain English as opposed to directing you to pages that simply mention the questions.
You can read more of the sexy tech details on the site. The question (no pun intended) is: Does it work? So the first thing I did to kick Brainboost’s tires was ask it: was, "Does Brainboost really work?" Its answer:
We are pleased to work with Brainboost and to use their elaborate
question /answering engine in our proof – of – concept test bed of the
next – generation intelligent information retrieval facility.

Whereas Search engines force users to spend time scouring for an answer
by tediously reading through search results, Brainboost does this work
for the user by automatically reading hundreds of search results and
extracting just those precious answers to the users question.. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050308/nytu163_1.html
The articles are actually pretty spot on but I
can’t sayh the same thing about Brainboost’s English. Since they must have
anticipated questions like that, I decided to try something another question,
something harder. So I asked it the old zen koan, "What is the sound of one hand
clapping? Brainboost took a little longer thinking than the previous question
and that spat out a page full of text. I three of the responses to illustrate
the diversity and nature of Brainboost’s replies:
Re your recent discussion, the sound of one hand clapping is, as any
true friend of Jimmy Rockford can tell you, the sound of a slap in the
face..

When the boundaries of perception have been removed, and the sound of
one hand clapping is understood, God outside of self no longer exists .
When the boundaries of perception have been removed, and the sound of
one hand clapping is understood God no longer exists . because one is
no longer victim to the senses, and the nature of the senses are
understood..http://anunda.com/wisdom/zen.htm

clapping is the stolen election 2004..

the absence of audio from TV news and their non – reporting of the
aforementioned stolen election..

the silence of the American people and the deaths of 100,000+ innocent Iraqi
people..
- I would posit that the sound of one hand clapping is
the criminal corruption of the United States Congress.

to be ludicrous in the extreme..
- I would posit that the sound of one hand clapping is
Senator John McCain and his selling out of the American people.
- I would posit that the sound of one hand clapping is
the use of weapons of mass destruction on the people of Fallujah.

clapping is George W Bush. Our not so noble beady eyed president..

the voices that Buckaroo hears in his head..

America and you had better like it.http://www.unknownnews.net/041211d-07dn.html
