Panel Discussion on "The Next Generation of Search" November 17, 2005

Finding answers used to be easy. First we asked our moms and the librarians.

Then we asked Altavista, Dogpile, Excite, and the other first generation search tools. Now we "google" for answers. User-directed search gave way to machine-directed search that is making way for the next generation in Search technology.

Please join Puget Sound SIG CHI Nov. 17 for a panel discussion on new directions in searching the Internet.
