AskMeNow To Acquire Intelligate

Mobile search company AskMeNow has announced plans to acquire Israeli-based Intelligate in the next 45 days. Intelligate has “patent-pending highly accurate information retrieval and natural language search technology”, and the intention is to provide a service that returns answers to natural language questions, not links. From the press release: “Until now, most content providers could only access limited to basic information from structured databases on the Internet. These databases
do not recognize natural language queries. The integration of Intelligate’s patented software, will allow AskMeNow to extract specific and relevant answers from structured databases on the Internet. As a result, mobile users everywhere will be able to receive answers easily and rapidly to virtually any question in their own words, a quantum
breakthrough in search that none of the major search engines currently provide.”
