PubSub is Profiled in the National Post

Filed under: — scohen @ 9:33 am

PubSub has been profiled in an article appearing in the National Post (in the financial post section):

“This technology, once expanded, will be able to tip off users the instant specific automobiles, jobs, concert tickets, cheap flights or goods and services are published.

“For example, if you want to know the instant U2 tickets come up for sale near where you live, the technology will be able to let you know; there’s no point finding out about it a month later on Google, Salim said.”

    just read the article, tried the website….completely unimpressed…the next google? i doubt it. i did a search for tickets to bell canadian open at hamilton golf and country club….i got every hit with the word “at”. somebody needs to work on the search engine before going to the press. this type of publicity is embarassing considering the product.

    Hi Michael:

    The reason why you received results with all mentions of the word “at” is probably because you didn’t use the Boolean logic that we have at PubSub (http://www.pubsub.com/booleanhelp.php). You would need to put quotes around phrases and the like.

    Also, the first paragraph in the post mentions that the technology for tickets, etc has not been done yet. Once we do that, it will be much easier to search for specific events like the Canadian Open.

    Thanks
