Hmm...

"Instead of just looking at the number and quality of links to and from a webpage as Google's technology does..."

It's funny how technology journalists still seem to think Google uses nothing but PageRank. They don't reveal much about their techniques, but a well-known Googler has mentioned that they use over a hundred different techniques in their scoring algorithms, of which PageRank is just one (and not necessarily the most important nowadays).

The press have just got over excited because:

1) It's the silly season.
2) There are ex-Google employees involved.

The tech journalists simply print whatever appeared in the press release, they wouldn't know an algorithm if it spilled their drink at El Vinos.

Amazingly aTw's attempt seems to work better. They have a much nicer look and feel though.
