The Wowd / Jildy development team is in Serbia, and they are a whip-smart group of programmers who connected at the Mathematical Olympiads. This was their first visit to California.
They set out to build a different kind of search engine, one that the founding programmers of Google, Yahoo and Skype said would never work. Under the covers, it is the “Skype of search” with no servers or webcrawlers, and that required a fundamentally different architecture… so they built a distributed hash table file system (DHTFS) and are now busy mining eigenvalues of our social graphs to improve ranking and make search more social.
They reminded me of the original Skype development team in Estonia.
