Danny Sullivan Tackles Search 3.0 And 4.0 In SMX West Keynote

Mar 3, 2008 at 12:23pm ET by Andrew Goodman

Nov 27, 2007 at 9:11am ET by Danny Sullivan

This has been a remarkable year. After years of no real dramatic evolution in search, the third generation finally arrived. Google calls it Universal Search, and I've been tending to say "blended search" as a generic name for the change that's now hit all the major search engines.
