Clinton's last China visit
To much fanfare, President Bill Clinton appeared at Accoona's launch event last night, sharing the stage with former Compaq CEO and current Accoona chief Eckhard Pfeiffer. Accoona was founded by Chinese government media and has sought celebrity-oriented funding and marketing strategies. Chess champion Anatoli Karpov is an investor. But SearchEngineWatch panned the launched search engine this morning. Newly launched engines are generally expected to require time to increase their indices (Accoona is running its own web crawler) and tweak algorithms such that they return highly relevant results.
