While most ambitious startups have the audacious dream of becoming the new Uber or AirBnB, Dutch newcomer Buzzcovery is taking it a few steps further than that: not only do they aim to get Google in their crosshairs, they are even hoping to beat the World dominating tech empire. Dumb idea or a genius plan? Let’s find out…
Smarter than Google
Buzzcovery claims to have invented a search engine that’s smarter than Google. The site is live as of today, November 8th. A team of Dutch scientists and engineers has designed it in cooperation with a team of mathematicians from Belarus. The main difference with Google is that Buzzcovery is supposed to produce more relevant links and leave out the useless links to sites where the word you search for just happens to be mentioned. Founder Herman Vissia explains: “A few years back I thought: ‘What good is it to have 125.000 search results? Why would you want to see all results that have your search keyword mentioned? That’s why I started Buzzcovery with a team of whizkids”.
