		<description>I was asked to participate in a venture capital search for Searchme.com in April, but declined.  

I compared Searchme against Google and the search algorithms that Searchme uses are terrible.  You get inconsistent search results.  As a consultant and strategist  I was very critical of Searchme.  You cannot continue to throw venture capital this company.  Sequoia really made a mistake funding round after round on Searchme. I am afraid that they dragged a lot of other VC&#039;s and angels down with them.  I really wanted to talk to Randy Adams, CEO, Searchme, but he failed to return any of my telephone calls or answer my emails.  For a site that has been around for three years or so, you would think that they would have 1 billion unique visitors per month, big numbers like Google, but they don&#039;t.  Read my blog and see what I have to say about Searchme&#039;s strategy</description>
