One of the more interesting search companies at SES New York was GenieKnows.com. The company is taking on the search space with their own search algorithms and a stable of companies licensing their search technology for paid search, while maintaining the intimacy of a more traditional family business. In talking with Barbara Manning, CEO of GenieKnows.com, the big push for their search engine in the coming months is to nail local search better than anyone else in the game. Based on any experience we’ve had with searching for local information, that’s certainly a field that remains wide open.
