The Motley Fool throws in its two cents regarding the launch of Accoona. It seems they think the industry might be too mature for a new contender to catch-up.

"Even if you offered me $70 billion, I am not sure I could effectively break into the search engine business. To me, Accoona's late entry is a sign that the teams headed for the playoffs have been named and the competition will now begin in earnest. But maybe I'm wrong. As Rick Aristotle Munarriz pointed out, maybe it's just starting to boom. Either way, there's some tough competition down the road from the big guys in the search engine business."

Analysts probably said the same thing when Google launched!

Can Accoona Challenge Google?

BusinessWeek looks at the launch of Accoona and whether the new business search engine can compete.

"Even with a Clinton appearance, Accoona has a long way to go before it can compete with Google. Its artificial intelligence had better prove to be a quick learner. Or like many of the dot-coms that came and went, the outfit's launch party may turn out to be its high point as a business."
