It would be quite an effort to collect and organize all this data and still keep it updated and within the search context.

I wonder how it is done -- for example, I know of one other site that collects popular technology stories as they emerge with a "computer algorithm extended with direct human editorial input".
So, I am curious, do you also do something like that?

Actually I find the forpune.com format a very suitable one for the purpose.
If information needs to be updated someone will put in the new data as an answer,

  • It could get upvoted if its relevant,
  • It could get edited if someone finds corrections for existing information

A bit like crowd-sourcing maybe.

And, I also think that your site would (should?) eventually hit on various pages of forpune itself.
Maybe, it will display the information in a different way (more like a google search result?).

I think google continues to be the best search engine. Inspite of lots of 'local' search engines that have come and gone. Keeping up with google and doing better remains difficult

However, I do like the concept behind http://PuneStuff.com. I hope it works out...
