I got the picture. However, they have Google News (I think it is in 2005 by Sriram K.); which searches almost all the online news across the globe (I can bet they are using the same page rank algorithm) and publish. And it is good compared to other news as you get the latest, most searched after/clicked one. But it is not sophosticated or commercialized/customized yet. Considering the innovation capacity of Google, I will not be suprised if they chip in and that too in a very short time frame. Nevertheless, good luck. Anyone who gets it better and earlier, wins.

Perhaps your question was more about Google search itself. That is a very good question indeed. Google (or anybody else) does not have the Search engine that we have built for the financial domain. In the future too, we believe they will not be able/willing to create a financial info oriented search engine. What we are doing is very financial domain specific because of which we can put a much greater focus on some things and ignore the rest. For instance to us Sales means Revenues. But in general purpose English, sales more often than not refers to garage sales or sales and dept stores. The reason why the search space is still very interesting is because it hasn't been segmented by user needs yet. Google dominates the general purpose search area because it does a damned good job of it. But search is too big for one company to monopolize. Satya,

How will you differentiate your service with analytics (a la Google analytics, Oracle's [I do not remember the anme]) -Satya Just one clarification.

If this format takes off well in US Markets, does Gridstone have ideas to plug into European as well as Asian markets? Guess, that could be a natural hedge against the dollar that gets badly mauled as well ;) I’d look forward to that, Basab…
