Storm Warnings for OneRiot?

August 2, 2010

Short honk: Search and content processing vendors face a tough market. Some outfits have figured out how to make money; two examples are Autonomy and Exalead. Google is an ad agency and not knocking the socks off the enterprise search crowd. Microsoft is stuffing search into everything in hopes of getting CALs, so its efforts don’t line up with what other outfits do. IBM is in the open source search hoard. Real time search outfits like OneRiot.com had an angle, but if “Layoffs, Reshuffle at OneRiot” is on the money, OneRiot.com may be struggling. I like OneRiot.com. I don’t want to put it on the list with former search engines along with Convera, Delphes, and Entopia. Here’s hoping, but there are four outfits in Europe hanging by a thread. Tough times the 2010s.
