DEMOfall: The Search Continues

Retrevo

They claim a more intelligent search engine for consumer electronics. Breaks down documents into categories.  Shows previews in a third pane on the screen.  Segregates product manuals, reviews, company info, etc.

Initial Reaction: It was hard to see the demo because of the amount of info on the screen.  Concept sounds interesting, but I need to get hands on to see if there's any there there.

Imaginestics

Niche search for parts at 3D-Seek.com.  You draw the part you're looking for and it searches supplier databases to find matching parts. 

Initial Reaction: I could see where something like this would be useful, just not sure how broad the market is for it.  Target market is clearly parts suppliers looking to make things easier for customers.
