ContextualWeb Information

The recent developments in Neuroscience have given us a deeper understating on the human brain: The most efficient indexing machine ever built. ContextualWeb is an implementation of the memory system of the human brain: It indexes web pages in a similar fashion to how the brain indexes memories. By mimicking the brain, we can build search engines that require storage and computation power of orders of magnitude lower than any other existing search engine technology. Peter Thiel (PayPal cofounder and an early investor in Facebook) described it in the best way: “If we’re going to have a real transformation in search, you have to try to be building technologies that will enable you to take something like 10,000 servers that are used for search today and do it with one hundred servers.” We are deconcentrating the search engine industry by allowing anyone to become a player and move away from depending on a few corporations to index the rapid changes of the world wide web.
