inSing.com Search

According to the stats from one of my blogs, people are using inSing.com as a search engine. I think this is good news for the inSing.com team and thumb up for choosing Google search engine technology. Yes, I am very tempted to compare inSing.com enhanced by Google search with SPH’s Rednano search but I do not have sufficient evidence to conduct a fair comparison.

Star Challenge 2008 Website Broken?

As an SEO practitioner, I read with interest the front page article on Today newspaper (Friday, 18 Jan 2008) about the Search Engine CompetitionStar Challenge 2008.

  • Wanted: The ultimate search engine
  • Reward: US$100,000

First of all, let me make it very clear that I think what A*Star is doing is good for Singapore. I want to support such an initiative and that’s the reason why I am writing about it. I believe the Star Challenge 2008 is not about building the ultimate search engine. The aim behind this search engine competition is marketing-driven – to be visible on the world stage so that search engine technology experts and researchers will take note of this small little island, Singapore, and probably come here to work at Fusionpolis.
