(Continued)     September 4, 2004 edition
Like Google in its early days, the number of users is multiplying fast. There is huge interest from venture capitalists eager to invest and grab a share of what could be the next hi-tech money-spinner. The technology the Blinkx team has developed originated from UK software company Autonomy, where her co-founder 26-year-old Cambridge graduate Suranga Chandratillake used to work.

The difference between Blinkx and other search engines is that it does not just search the web, it combs everything from personal emails on your desktop through to video clips from TV stations such as the BBC. It is activated by the user asking it to carry out a search on a topic. But, if the user begins writing on a subject, it will automatically start a search.

In unrelated developments, back in February 2003, Opera vowed never to produce a browser that worked with Microsoft's operating system for mobile devices. Now, the Norway company said it will design one, citing strong demand for the software from makers of cell phones.
