Missed Search Opportunity

Wow, another search engine stock takes off and I sit on the side lines. I emailed a co-worker early Friday that this stock looked promising. Little did I know what would happen.

Shares of Chinas largest Web search company, Baidu.com Inc., more than quadrupled in value in their U.S. market debut on Friday in the most spectacular entry ever by a foreign company, overshadowing world search leader Google Inc.s float last year.

So again, where do we go from here? Will a new search algorithm replace Google and Baidu in the coming years? Is the semantic web the only thing that can derail these organizations?
