	Teoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Teoma, pronounced tay-o-ma, was an Internet search engine founded in 2000 by Professor Apostolos Gerasoulis and his colleagues at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
		Many parts of Teoma's relevancy algorithm were based on the methodology IBM developed for its Clever project.
		Teoma was acquired by Ask Jeeves on September 11, 2001, and has powered ask.com and other international Ask Jeeves sites (such as ask.co.uk, ask.jp) and Ask Jeeves Spain [1] since then.

	teoma specific lore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Teoma, among the three main search engines, is the best real 'alternative' to google.
		Because Teoma has advanced search capabilities, that allow to refine a query using specific criteria such as exact phrase, page location, geographic region, domain and site, date, search within results and word filter.
		Teoma should by all means put a nice "check mark" next to the paid crap results they are smuggling inside the SERPs.

	SeoPapers - article Dissecting Teoma - Part 1 of 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Teoma's rapid growth has been fueled in part by the dramatic improvements the technology has made in the quality of search results on the Ask Jeeves portal.
		One of the most innovative features of the Teoma search interface is a listing of related terms that allow the searcher to refine their search.
		Teoma is in a rapid growth phase right now, so you can expect them to be a couple months behind on crawling the web, at least for a while.

	Web Informers ©2005 \| Search Engines - How Does Teoma Work?
		Teoma is a technology company that measures the authority as well as the popularity of web sites.
		Teoma uses what they have branded as Subject-Specific Popularity that ranks a site based on the number of same-subject pages in other ranked sites that link to it, not just general popularity (page count), to determine a site's level of authority.
		Teoma / Ask Jeeves: One of the most definitive sources that I have found is at AskJeeves/Teoma who define the acts that will keep you from being ranked.

	Teoma vs. Google, Round Two
		Teoma is a very good search engine, but at this point it poses very little threat to Google's dominance of the web search world.
		Teoma's underlying technology is an extension of the HITS algorithm developed by researchers at IBM several years ago.
		Teoma's index of 200 million pages is tiny compared to most of the other major search engines.

	Teoma - A New Contender Targets Google (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Teoma is currently in beta but has been garnering a lot of interest in the search community.
		Asked if the Teoma technology was similar to IBM’s work on hubs and clusters, Gardi said: “Yes, we are aware of their research project called Clever, but our implementation is different.
		Teoma has clued in, and by providing results in three different ways, may be on to something that delights users.”

	Robert Ambrogi's LawSites: Search engine upstart Teoma releases version 2.0
		Teoma calls this "Subject-Specific Popularity." The idea is this: If you want to know the best Web sites for auto enthusiasts, you will do better by polling the sites of other auto enthusiasts than you will do by polling the Internet at large.
		Teoma, which is owned by Ask Jeeves Inc., touts two other features: "Refine" and "Resources," both of which appear onscreen to the right of the search results.
		Teoma claims that although its index is smaller than those of other search engines, it has taken steps to eliminate spam and duplication, making it more precise.

	Ask Jeeves Refreshes Teoma
		Teoma 2.0, the first update to the two-year-old search engine, was designed with improved search relevance, new spell-checking capabilities, more search-refinement options, and a much bigger index of Web pages.
		In April 2002, the company launched Teoma, which is Gallic for "guide." The search engine was hyped as an alternative to Google because of its unique approach, which groups results into categories to identify "expert" resources and offers suggestions for refining searches.
		Teoma faces an uphill battle in the search industry, with a lower-profile name and a significantly smaller index.

	PCWorld.com - Teoma.com Enters Search Engine War
		Teoma (pronounced tay-o-ma), which uses a different search method from Google, will give users a different feel in terms of results but a similar feel in terms of aesthetics, said Rob Lancaster, a senior analyst at Yankee Group.
		Teoma uses the same simple opening-page style that Google uses, but it goes about gathering information in a different way.
		Sullivan said he expects to see Teoma get a boost because it is the "latest and greatest" technology, and it's being launched with a certain amount of buzz.

	Is this the rival to Google? \| The Register
		What Teoma does is extend this a little by finding the sites that concern themselves with the search string.
		It could probably be more easily explained by saying that Google asks about a certain expert in a field and then goes and takes a poll from people in the street over which one they think is best.
		Teoma would ask all the experts in the field which one of themselves they think is best.

		Teoma is a great little search engine and my personal choice for the title of Google’s biggest problem.
		The difference is that Teoma's system does not measure links to page from anywhere on the web - only from a specific collection of documents it deems relevant to a particular search.

	Teoma's Search Technology Summed Up
		Teoma adds a new layer of "authority" to search results through something they call "Subject-Specific Popularity." Google's PageRank, simply explained, ranks pages based on the quality and the number of inbound links to a site.
		Teoma ranks sites based on related communities of sites that are "organically organized" and link to each other.
		You mention that Teoma has a big bug w.r.t mirror sites and that "company names" (without quotes) query brings up 10 links under "Resources" in which 7 are mirror sites.

		Teoma determines results by ranking a site based on its subject-specific popularity - the number of pages on that subject that point to the site.

	Jeeves Snaps up Teoma; Are We Fit to Grasp World Events? - Traffick.com
		Teoma has been touted as one of the only credible challengers to Google on the current search tech horizon.
		In acquiring Teoma, which addresses similar "popularity ranking" methodologies as Google, Jeeves would appear to be conceding that its earlier acquisition of Direct Hit, a technology that supposedly tracked user behavior to measure a site's popularity, was a bust.
		The flipside of the economic downturn that has led to Jeeves' currently-depressed stock price is that the startup companies it might like to acquire don't command much of a premium, and will face a tough road gaining needed funding in this economic environment, making them much cheaper to acquire.

		With all of the focus on our flagship brand changing, we wanted to point out another brand shift we'll be making soon: we are rolling the Teoma brand in to Ask, pointing the Teoma.com domain to http://search.ask.com.
		As we've detailed before, when Teoma was acquired back in late 2001, it was a pioneering, 7-person shop that had developed some next-generation algorithms and a promising search engine.
		(Teoma means "expert" in Gaelic, apparently.) The Teoma technology lives on inside Ask, as the official blog explains, but it's still a little sad to see...

		Teoma says this approach categorizes results better and offers more helpful choices.
		Teoma also presents links to subcategories that may be related to a topic, as well as a section devoted to "expert" sources.

		Teoma's approach differs from Google's, which uses a similar, but more static ranking system.

		As the Teoma team upgrades the Search Bar with new features and functionality, they will be added as non-active options to the Search Bar, ensuring that users have access to its latest offerings.
		Teoma search technology has significantly more functionality and relevance than competitive search technologies due to its unique approach for dividing the Web into natural communities, analyzing topic-specific Web content, and ranking a page based on the number of same subject pages that reference it.
		Teoma search technology began in 1998 as a research project by scientists at Rutgers University, and was acquired by Ask Jeeves, Inc., in September 2001.

		The company continues to maintain the Teoma search engine as a separate site, and plans to move it out of beta some time in the second quarter.

		Both Google and Teoma are prime examples of search engines which base their ranking algorithm around the nature and the characteristics of linkage data.
		And in the case of Teoma, it turns out, because we're going down to the level and depth of information we are doing, it happens to be extremely valuable information.
		Whether it's branded Teoma and delivering results to Ask Jeeves and not being recognised is not that important as such.
