Last week I attended a private party for Powerset sponsored by the CEO Barney Pell.
Powerset is an innovative natural language search company with a clear vision, to grunt their way into the future. Powerset and natural language search, Pell explains is the language that people use today to interact with search engines. It is not a natural language of the kind people use, which has rich and flexible structure for specifying relationships, constraints, and meaning of the words and their combinations. Instead, it is like the languages invented by people who speak different human languages but need a way to talk to each other. They use a limited number of shared words, with no order or structure, and supplement this with gestures and grunts. These languages are called "pidgin" languages. So "keywordese" is like a grunting pidgin language...Very cool stuff
