A team of scientists led by Professor Apostolos Gerasoulis at Rutgers University
set out to look at the structure of the Internet for search purposes from a different
perspective than other search engines.
The result was Teoma
which means “expert” in Gaelic. Teoma was launched in April 2001 bringing
a fresh face to the search engine scene. Teoma analyzes and views the Web in terms
of communities, with a community being a group of web pages that are about the
same thing or closely related to the subject. This is in contrast to ranking sites
with the most links to them.
Teoma was acquired by Ask
Jeeves in September 2001.
