"We expect an increase in search services and Metaweb is one of the largest Internet data management company in the world," he said as quoted from the Telegraph, July 20.

"Indeed, with efforts like the 'rich snippets' and 'search feature answer', we just apply the understanding of the web to search for the better," he explained. Type 'Barack Obama's birthday' in the search box for example, the results appear right on top of the page. Or search for an event such as a special festival in Osaka, it will show a list of special events with date agenda.

"But what about the search as' campuses in the U.S. west coast with school fees under 30 thousand dollars' or 'actor over 40 years who had at least one Oscar win?" Menzel said.

Metaweb spelled fast growing company. In 2008, the company is able to achieve revenues of about $ 42.5 million. Note the very significant considering Metaweb only able to earn an income of about $ 15 million in 2006. With the acquisition, Google also must spend more to acquire in Metaweb.

During 14 years of existence, ITA collects and organizes information from travel agents and airlines, including information about the number of flights, ticket prices and availability.
