Predict the Future of Federated Search

WOW! Who knew there was a federated search blog? While I know I won't read it regularly it was really quite interesting. But the reason for the post is I want someone to win a free trip to Computers in Libraries 2009.

The Federated Search Blog launched a writing contest in June.

What will the landscape of federated search look like in ten years?

Three prizes will be awarded by blog sponsor Deep Web Technologies for the best original essays predicting the future of federated search technology.

  • First prize is $500.
  • Second prize is $250.
  • Third prize is $100.
Plus they sweetened the pot in July when they announced that the first prize entry would be published in Computers in Libraries Magazine and present their entry at CIL 2009. Deep Web Technologies will pay travel and lodging for the winner.

Read more about it and let us know how you do. Deadline to enter is August 1st.
