ArnoldIT Post Resurfaces—Three Years Later
December 26, 2012
Talk about putting old wine in new bottles. A fascinating post by our beloved leader, Stephen E. Arnold, has resurfaced—at LowPriceWebHost.com, of all places. The title is “Exorbyte Search Product Highly Scalable and Configurable,” and the original interview ran in November 2009. Hey, it was only three years ago; that’s not so long in the tech world, right?
Well. . . as much as I admire Steve and his insights, even his information becomes outdated eventually. For example, in this article he wrote:
“[Exorbyte’s] Matchmaker software can search millions of records and return results in under 10 milliseconds. Besides its speed, Matchmaker is noted for its unlimited error tolerance, meaning it corrects all spelling and other data errors on the fly or by ‘Did You Mean’ suggestions.”
Is that all still true, or is the rate of return even faster now? Who knows?
Why do outfits recycle content like this? For the hits, of course, but apparently with little concern for the timeliness of the information. Fortunately, there is one part of the article we are sure is still true:
“[ArnoldIT’s] Search Wizards Speak is the single most comprehensive collection of interviews with the movers and shakers in search and content processing.”
Yep. Keep up the good work, Steve.
