[extropy-chat] Bill Clinton Helps Launch Search Engine

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

Former president Bill Clinton on Monday helped launch a new Internet
search company backed by the Chinese government which says its
technology uses artificial intelligence to produce better results than
Google Inc.
"I hope you all make lots of money," Clinton told executives at the
launch of Accoona Corp., which donated an undisclosed amount to the
William J. Clinton Foundation.
The Chinese government, one of several large backers, has granted
Accoona a 20-year exclusive partnership with the China Daily
Information Co., the government agency that runs an official Chinese
and English Web site.
The company seeks to distinguish itself from Google, Yahoo Inc. and
growing list of other search engine players by using artificial
intelligence to make the results more relevant.
