Searching for a new way to Search

The Internet is often referred to as one of the most significant accomplishments in the history of mankind.

Virtually any bit of information on virtually any subject can be found by searching the Internet.

How we search the Internet has evolved dramatically in a very short period of time and even though Google is the current undisputed heavyweight of search, if history has taught us anything, it won't be forever.

Remember when AltaVista was considered the best search engine? How about when Excite first hit the scene? Do you remember the hoopla surrounding the launch of this really useful directory called Yahoo!

Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss the past, present and future of search and how Social Media may be what changes the rules of the game.
