So, “Allegedly”, there’s this kid named Ori Alon who supposedly invented a more relevant search algorithm who now works for Google. Alon is said to be an Israeli doctoral student.
From haaretzdaily.com:
Search engine giant Google recently acquired an advanced text search algorithm invented by Ori Alon, an Israeli student. Sources believe Yahoo and Microsoft were also negotiating with the University of New South Wales in Australia, where Alon is a doctoral student in computer science.
Google, Alon and the university all refused to comment, though Google confirmed that “Ori Alon works at Google’s Mountain View, California offices.”
So let me ask you this… what kind of world do we live in, that I couldn’t have thought of that, and hired someone to create the algorithm for me? Yes. The sound you hear is me turning green with Jealousy. And on Palm Sunday. Bad Tinu!

Secondly, if you’re not popping through to the site to read the posts, you’re missing out on the comments feature and the trackback links, where I often post additional information and links that are related to the story I’m covering.
