    A lot start out by college kids. Like Napster. You know Launch.com? That was invented by a kid in college, not nearly as advanced as it is now, but yahoo payed him millions for it. He probably wont have to work a single day for the rest of his life, and hes probably only in his mid-twenties.

    Sure look at the kid who invented www.milliondollarhomepage.com He was lying in his bed thinking of how to make money to pay for his tuition, One pixel costs $10 and he has made well over $1,000,000 by now and there are still places reserved and money to be paid.

    It doesnt even take that much brains, any cheeky sod could do it lol. Pure class though, he deserves all that money for thinking of it.

    PreviewSeek is too hard to remember.. Google is only 5 letters.

    I doubt the un-computer wise people will even remember the second word in 'Preview Seek', whereas everybody can remember 'Google'.

    Looking at it, it is a very complex and advanced, search. But cant compeate with google, as google doesnt aim to be avanced.

    Googles strengh is its simplicty, it got ahead by striping all the **** out of the search and just doing the essental things.

    This site bascly ads all the **** back in, and then one hell of alot more. For basic user, its to much information, and dosnt just tell them what they want to know. Google on the other hand goes straight to it.
    So realy its targeting a diffent market to where google is aimed, rather than targting the mainsream this search looks like it will be used more by those who use the internet alot, and can benifit from all the advanced fetures rather than just haveing a large amount of useless infomation.

    Athogh i must admit i realy do like the the folder system down the side that sepertaes sites in to sections, thats REALY nice. Athogh thats probaly more becuise im one of the people who live on the internet, aka spend way to much time. So persaonly it looks great, but i dont think its the right approach to gain the mainstream market. Athogh i like it so much ive set it to my serach bar in firefox
    Althogh on closer inspection the folder system could use a little work figureing out what belongs where, but hey its a beta, and its already nice
