Search Wizard Starts New Venture
June 6, 2008
Years ago I examined search technology developed by a teen age whiz named Judd Bowman. You can read about his background here. Mr. Bowman and an equally talented Taylor Brockman had devised a way around memory access bottlenecks that hobbled other search companies’ performance. Mr. Bowman founded Pinpoint, which became Motricity. With a keen interest in search, Motricity provided a range of technology to a number of high profile clients, including Motroloa.
Mr. Bowman’s new venture is PocketGear, formerly a unit of Motricity. There’s not much information available at this time. Based on my knowledge of Mr. Bowman’s interest in search, the company will offer mobile search and content services. The venture warrants close observation, particularly with regard to mobile on device applications and cloud based search and retrieval.
Note: the Charlotte News Observer article quotes me and cites my for-fee work for investors in Messrs. Bowman and Brockman’s first company, Pinpoint.
