Dear Michael Arrington,
I am writing to you regarding Duncan Riley’s mention of my company ACrappySearchEngine.com in his post on TechCrunch “Intelliverb: Is It Intelligent Investing in Search?”
I don’t think it is fair at all to compare AcrappySearchEngine.com and Intelliverb.
Our results are much crappier than theirs. Yet they get the entire post! I, and my fellow co-CEO, believe you must correct this horrendous oversight but profiling ACrappySearchEngine.com, and the cutting edge “technology” that powers it, on your esteemed blog.
Now, granted both Intelliverb and ACrappySearchEngine are similar. We’re both conceptual and, even I will admit, there is room improvement. (But give us a break! We’re still in pre-Alpha! What’s their excuse?)
I think what seems to have tipped the scale is Intelliverb named their crappy method of analyzing page content, PageScale, while we have not. Well allow me to correct this glaring error. Look out Google, Yahoo and Intelliverb! Here comes CrappyRank.
CrappyRank, or CR as we say around the office water cooler (but never around the foosball table) dynamically ranks content using a multivariable Web 2.3 algorithm that analyzes words, links, links with words, the word ‘link’ and whether these links and words are near pictures of Scarlett Johansson into a set of results. Apparently this is all done somewhat quickly by an old server we swiped from the back of the ol' Atlavista Headquarters.
Now that you have the information you need please take a moment to rectify this gross oversight. Besides we’ve been secretly powering Live.com for the past year.
Yours Truly,
John Boyle
Co-CEO of ACrappySearchEngine.com
