This is a good start of the topic. It would be helpful to have some more history of this area since it goes back several decades. Additionally, there are a fair number of internet search companies that are either exclusively focused on this technology (e.g. AskJeeves.com), and firms such as Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and a slew of others, that feel that this is the next "frontier" in the search game.

AskJeeves was never really an NLP company. When they started they had people answering questions and since IAC bought them out it's turned more into a regular algorithm based web search engine like Google. It's true that MS, Yahoo and Google have hinted at NLP making a major impact but they haven't really done anything in the space. Powerset has been getting a lot of buzz about it's NLP technology but all that's been made public is a lot of buzz as this Feb 2007 article from Tech Crunch explains: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/02/12/powerhype-at-powerset/. NLP seems like a natural progression of the web and will have a major impact in the future but AskMeNow is one of the only companies that I've seen that have something to show. It's not great but it's a start. MrMirz 18:01, February 1, 2008 (PST)
