Dr. David Saad – founder & CEO of Clupedia outlined the vision of the company with a very slick presentation followed by an impressive demonstration. http://www.clupedia.com/
Six months after the initial announcement, it is now quite clear that Clupedia is not just another review site or another toolbar offering opinions. Clupedia is quietly (or maybe not so quietly, considering the buzz that the company has been generating) creating the meta web or the semantic web as it is sometimes called – a web about the web built by the people for the people.
Dr. Saad said eloquently: “Peter’s Principle is creeping in. The web is promoting itself to its level of incompetence due to the high fragmentation and the tremendous amount of content that is being generated. Simply put, we’re drowning in a sea of information, most of which is irrelevant to a particular person. Current search engines are not keeping up with the explosion of content to be searched because they are all limited to text search, which is running out of steam.” The semantic web brings about the following ever needed remedies:
*Capability of discovering rather than just searching. The former is incidental while the latter is intentional.
*Capability of discovering based on the wisdom of crowds – the collective intelligence of people - rather than searching based on some text criteria which often produce irrelevant results.
*Capability of getting the “sentiment”
*Capability of having the relevant information pushed to the user, on demand, where the user is at, instead of the user having to pull the information by having to go to a search engine, and thus, offering a much higher degree of convenience.
*Capability of engaging (creating or retrieving) from any source including a toolbar, a website, or a mobile device.
In conclusion, Clupedia is well positioned to serve the web community with its comprehensive platform which setting new standards and opening the door for more people to express themselves about anything that interest them and in whichever way they like. Such power and convenience will surely morph the web into a network of collective intelligence ever seen before.
