Searching is easy, even a machine can do it?


I didn't make it to SourceCon 2010, Kamanchi aren't that loaded I am afraid but I would have loved to hear from Boolean Black Belt Glen Cathey in his keynote speech, his slides are up on Slideshare already and are here for you to see.

It is obvious to anyone who has done the job properly that none of the applications that use AI can do the job of a top class resourcer, however I have only met 3 in my time (you know who you are!). Therefore the applications like Daxtra SS2, iProfile, Broadbean Stream and Actonomy will always have a place for the normal consultant to find people quickly.

Therefore they all have a place in the market but the hard stuff needs a Top Class Resourcer and they are worth their weight in Truffles!

Any other ideas on how to measure value?
