Thanks to everyone who came out to the GCN lunchtime seminar last Thursday.

We would also like to thank Vincent Lusser for his interesting presentation about the challenges of communicating for urban planning Geneva. For those of you who weren’t able to make it to Acacias, you should have a look at the Pavillon Sicli. There’s a lot of information about what is being planned for Geneva, particularly the Acacias area and it’s a great venue for an event.

A few photos are also up on our Flickr page.

Please look out for our next event at the end of October on internet security.

Swiss search engine gains momentum

According to the magazine “Le News“, a swiss search engine, which was launched by Hulbee AG in June, has already attracted 400 000 users.

Swisscows.com – Switzerland’s answer to Google – is beginning to give the California search engine a run for its money. Responding to Google’s market hold, Swisscows presents itself as the first intelligent “answer engine” based on semantic information recognition coupled with intuitive search assistance.

The new search engine gives the user intelligent answers instead of just thousands of links. The new engine has a compelling advantage over US-based engines – Swisscows users leave no trace of themselves behind; their data are not recorded and hence not stored. Try it out at:www.swisscows.com
