About a year ago, I helped a small search engine company based here in Paris, Exalead, do some English-language beta-testing on their search engine. I guess I shouldn't even call it beta-testing, it was more like "I don't like this, I do like that, oooh that's really cool!" In return I got a few gift certificates to some nice Parisian shops. Not too shabby!
Fast-forward to my inbox yesterday, where I read a MediaPost article about Exalead being voted Alternative Search Engine of the Month for October. Yay! I knew I liked their engine and how they displayed results, but was fearful that they would never make it - with the giants and even with the plethora of small guys it's hard to make your mark. But this is a great first step!
I'll continue to watch their progress over the next year and see how much of the market share they can pick up. Allez Les Blues!
