FYI Body:

There is a new search engine company (start up phase) called "Thrownet" a http://www.thrownet.com which is advertising for linguists and computational linguists who can provide a one question one response functionality for a search engine front end. Does anyone know wha technologies they are using (if this is public information)? The last I heard they were looking at the Franklin parser out of New Jersey. For those of you who are interested they seem to be offering a lot of jobs. Phil Bralich Philip A.
