Scour.com CEO Dan Yomtobian to Join Panel at Search Engine Strategies Chicago
Yomtobian to Address Topic "Is There Life Beyond Google?"
Sherman Oaks, CA - November, 2008 - Social search engine Scour.com today announced that CEO Daniel Yomtobian will participate in a panel at the Search Engine Strategies Chicago conference. The panel will explore the topic “Is There Life Beyond Google?” The conference takes place December 8-11, 2008, at the Chicago Hilton.Yomtobian will discuss the promise of human-powered, or social, search as a complement to Google’s primarily algorithmic search. The session is scheduled for Monday, December 8th, at 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
The panel will explore a variety of alternative and specialty search engines that provide innovative features and attributes not readily available on Google. The Web is abounding with so much available information that no single search engine can possibly find it all. While Google's market share is dominant today, there is still tremendous opportunity for its competitors to grow.
