I would hope that this initiative will not be built from the ground up but capitalizing on that.
Qwant is poorly managed, but that doesn't mean every project is doomed to fail. If you would judge Google success based on their failed projects, it would be the same conclusion.
- iagovar 6y agoWell but Qwant has its core product in its infancy, if they can't even manage that, you tell me. The problem has many layers, Europe is not really united, which makes most markets small, the governments are pretty bad at managing investiments in tech fields, and there's not enough private capital going around pouring money into this.
- boudin 6y agoYou're a bit harsh, it does work, so they do manage that. I don't think there's the intent to kill google or become as big. Competing against Google is also a huge task... It's far from perfect, there's definitely stuff they do wrong, but it's also far from being the Quaero fiasco.
- iagovar 6y agoWell, maybe you're right, but I tried to give them some feedback about spanish results and the difficulty to use quotes and even when I really tried, it was impossible. And yes results are bad in spanish.
