Jason asked his followers to compare Powerset v. Google v. Google with a Wikipedia search set (i.e. Rubik’s Cube)

I choose “How to solve the rubik’s cube”

Powerset gave me some really good results; however, the screen was full of text and it was hard to figure out what the result was really giving meimage
Once you clicked on the result you got a pretty good article

Next, I went on to Google… the results were good, plus you got a screen shot of the video you would likely see if you clicked on the link

The last place I went was Google.com with a “site:wikipedia.com”
As you can see, the result was nothing at all

In my opinion, Powerset has a long way to go and since there are so many search engines out there, it needs to ramp up it’s results!

I was able to see them announce it live from qik.com, where Robert Scoble was streaming it live via his cell phone.  Check out his stream here: http://qik.com/scobleizer
Hanging out with geeks before Google’s announcement

Run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure.
Google App Engine enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications.
Check out the video

According to Google, only 10,000 beta users were able to get an invitation… I got one, check it out though: http://code.google.com/appengine/
