"crush google", wow sounds interesting. - Rich Lazzara

I hope this is the same PrimaStar Robert is talking about - ashish

Rich: Google crush sounds more interesting - like the name of a drink. - Jim Connolly

Why? You'll have to see our Building43 video to see why. :-) But let's just say they did the search technology for several camera stores and the conversion rate went WAY up. Why is that? Because they offer a new way of searching things that really rocks. I can't explain it in text. Gotta show it to you. - Robert Scoble

looking fwd to it - Rich Lazzara

Primestar's AnswerOil UIX is a good fit for #Bing's decision support platform, combined with shopping cart & checkout optimization products from www.allurent.com would yield further eCommerce results. - Alexander Ainslie

I'm interested.Do they support dynamic search/ads via keywords/tags? I sent them a message, and like what I saw. Very feature driven search. - Mark Essel

Robert: direct link to the building43 video? - James Kuypers

Several people asked which product categories we support -- here's a site that uses over 1000: http://translate.google.com/transla... - Joshua Z. Tabin

Also, Mark Essel: YES, we do support dynamic search/ads via keywords/tags. :) - Joshua Z. Tabin

Thanks Joshua, great talking to you. - Mark Essel

Most likely to get purchased by Microsoft with the intent to crush Google, perhaps. But Microsoft intends a lot of things. Maybe they'll buy PrismaStar, then rebrand MSN, er, Live Search, er Bing, and the market will be less confused. - Andy Bakun

But Jessops the camera retailer is losing money: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money... - Jelly Roll Morton

Jessops has been losing money as long as anyone can remember, which is hardly Prismastar's fault. The point is though that Jessops has a very good search tool with Prismastar's AnswerOil and has seen a substantial increase in its conversion rates since adopting Prismastar's technology. It could be Answeroil which has kept them going this long (nobody would have expected them to still be around in late 2009 eighteen months ago) - John S Cameron

John, did Jessops really see a substantial increase in conversion rates? I respectfully suggest that this is not a fact. Can anyone actually verify this claim? It is on record that Jessops are still around because HSBC Bank saved them, rather than because of their business performance. - Jelly Roll Morton
