Google v2

Been a long time since I wrote, and as comments to my last post prove that I have a fan following of critics now, waiting for new posts, here it is:

The previous month has been really hectic, as we're working very hard (and at great speed) to complete our project for the finals of Google Product Prodigy '09. BTW, I should first inform you that we guys got selected to the finals of the Google Product Prodigy contest (again, for me) from the entire Asia-Pacific region! People who've read my previous blog (at awardspace.com, which seems to be dead now) would recall the post I made describing the fantastic experience I had at GooglePlex Bangalore last year. We're pretty excited at being able to go through that again!

The other interesting project me and my friends are working on presently are an Adaptive Web Search engine, that adapts to a user's search-usage pattern over a period of time, so that after a while, the search engine starts delivering results tailored to the trends the person has set over weeks.

We're also about less than a month now to the launch of Flare (our Google project), which will be launched as a web service! It will initially be invite-only. :-)

Cheers!
