Sun Microsystem’s C.E.O., Scott McNealy, has repeatedly opined that “The killer application of the Internet is education and training.” Not only do we whole-heartedly agree, we are convinced there is a substantial role for Bloodhound in this arena.

The core element in all classroom deliveries is the acquisition of carefully considered educational materials used by motivated instructors comfortable with use of new technology. There are millions of these people, well-evidenced by entities like e-Pals (6.7 million subscribers); Marco-Polo, (networked with several hundred thousand teachers); Educause, (more than a million members).

Bloodhound offers firms such as these a unique search tool that can be widely used by both teachers and learners. In addition to supplementing and complementing existing research methods, large educational institutions and counter-part membership groups can earn substantial (pay-per-click) income by partnering with Bloodhound.

Following the Google model, those revenues are earned from small advertisements where offers from vendors are programmed to match the content displayed next to the ad.

Once use of the “Hounds” has “caught”, the number of daily page views from those in the education arena could be in the millions. Which membership group would not welcome Bloodhound as a great way to enhance research at the same time they enjoyed large increases in revenues from use of Bloodhound tools?

NOTE: A modest amount of subscrition revenue is also anticipated.

Who will we reach this market?

Many doors to the senior leadership in the whole of the education world will be opened by John Hibbs, our e-learning and e-training consultant. John comes to us with more than a decade of work in high visibility events focused on e-learning, e-training and e-education.

1. How long does it take to customize my own Bloodhound Search Engine?  –(We call them Hounds.)

We make the acquisition of your personal “Hound” as easy as we can. Generally, it takes about three minutes for you to provide the initial information. Then it takes us a few hours to get a Hound ready for your use….at this point we deliver a ‘puppy”. To make the “puppy” a hard-working search Hound able to get precisely what you want does require some “training”. Some of it will go quickly and easily; some of it will require patience. But you don’t need any special “technical” skills and you should not worry one bit about that!

2.  Do I need to be technically savvy to acquire my own Bloodhound?

Absolutely not! See above.

3.  Can I continuously customize my search — make the Hound find what I personally want?

You bet! We work very hard to make it possible for you to easily enter search terms that will help you train your Hound.

4. Are there examples of others who are using Bloodhound?

Of course. You might wish to visit any of these sites where Hounds are hard at work, 24/7/365

University of New Mexico

5. If I need help, who do I contact?

You will find more help And, if you still have questions, please write our real human beings. Here’s the address:

6.  Can I acqure more than one Hound?

You bet! You can have as many Hounds as you wish. But we suggest you start with your own “puppy”…and train him (or her) to help you on a particular issue. The “training experience” will make it easier for you to train other Hounds to seek out other treasures.

7.  Is there a way me to track my usage? (number of page views, etc)

Depends? Please write to our Gurus for more help on this one.

8.  Can you tell me more about your revenue sharing program?

The prime way we make money is the same way that Google earns its revenues…On a “pay-per-click” basis.

(Each page Bloodhound returns lists vendors advertising products or services that are relevant to the topic of that web page. Everytime a user clicks on the site, we earn a few dimes.)

To answer your question, we split those dimes in various ways depending upon individual circumstances. For more information, please write

1. What value does Bloodhound offer educational institutions?

Bloodhound offers a unique search tool that complements and supplements the lynchpin of all good education deliveries: Solid research, carefully mined. Arguably, one of the best benefits comes from the task of training the Hounds to hunt precisely, especially in “territory” where the source material has already passed well-established academic rigor.

2. Who are the primary stakeholders in Academia for integrating a Bloodhound Search engine?

Teachers. Professors. Instructors. Guidance counselors. Senior Leadership. In other words, all those who are determined to help learners gain access to reliable source materials — and just as important, how to help them discover how good search methods and affordable technology can separate that which merely glitters from that which is true gold.

3. How does Bloodhound Search differ from other online library search systems?

Bloodhound keeps searching and searching and searching - 24/7/365. It automatically uploads what it finds to a personal web site where those who have a precise interest in a particular topic can view 24/7/365 — from anywhere where there is Net connectivity. (And where is there not?)

4. Can Bloodhound Search be customized to fit all levels of education?

Yes! Motivated pre-school teachers will find Bloodhound just as useful as will Doctoral candidates and wise university presidents. The good news is the Net opened access to vast amounts of real treasure. The bad news is the landscape is so huge that it has to be sifted and sorted….impossible without smart technology. Our Hounds are exactly that….but they have to be trained by smart human beings…also called educators.

5. How could our school benefit by establishing a student Bloodhound Search engine?

What could possibly be better than providing your students with their own personal Hound? One that can sniff out “treasures” — where both learner and instructor can easily examine what the Hound returns? The experience of training your personal Hound will be just as valuable as what the Hound actually finds. What else is “school” about except to learn how to learn?

1. How does Bloodhound Search benefit business?

Superlative business leadership is driven by those who know how to acquire information relevant to their business. In a world of information glut, sifting and sorting all that is out there is a mind-numbing chore. Our Hounds do the hard work to bring you gems…that is if you train your Hound to find just what you want.

2. What kind of businesses should use Bloodhound Search?

A better question is “Who should not use Bloodhound?” We couldn’t think of any business that should not acquire one of our Hounds.

3. Can a business acquire more than one Hound?

Absolutely! Train one Hound to find pheasants and that’s what he will return. Train another Hound to find deer, and that’s what she will sniff out. Many Hounds can serve one Master. But they all have to be properly trained.

4. I realize that most companies spend thousands of dollars each year on Competitive Intelligence initiatives. How can Bloodhound Search save my company money?

In the “old” days, companies sent dilligent assistants deep into the stacks to find the gems. Now, smart leaders can send our Hounds into the whole wide world of the Net. Remember, Hounds never get tired; or bored; or hungry. And they don’t need a paycheck every Friday either.

5. How can my company turn a budget expense into a profit center?

If your company has a blog site — and it should — adding what the Hounds return (automatically uploaded of course) will had depth and richness that would not otherwise be possible — or affordable. Your customers will return to your blog site because your company offers more than “just” products and services. You offer intelligence of a rare kind….brought to you by your well-trained Hounds.

1. Why use Bloodhoundsearch? (Was: Why is Bloodhound Search the most reliable search system?)

Bloodhound is different than all other search engines because it provides you with a “Hound” that never stops looking, looking, looking, 365/24/7. After it finds information directly relevatant to what you are looking for, it uploads the information to a website where you and others can view 24/7.

2. What makes Bloodhound Search different from the other 3000 plus search engines?
It’s different because it keeps on looking, looking, looking. And it can be be refined and improved by unique methods no other search tool provides.

3. How can I best use Bloodhound Search for my research needs?

Suppose you are teaching English Literature and your focus is on WB Yeats and you wanted to find out what British resources and/or British teachers are saying about Yeats. You granulate your search to precisely “tell” your “Hound” what you want it to find;the information returned by the Hound can be viewed by your students 24/7.

4. What is a Hound? (was — What is SIMS?)

“Hound” is the name we have use to designate your personal search tool. For example, you might have a Hound named “Yeats”  which would search for all aspects of  the WB Yeats; or would only search for finely selected articles about particular works by Yeats. (The metaphor “Hound” was selected because you have to help “train” the “Hound” to find exactly what you want.)

5. Can you help me customize my Hound  — (was) SIMS?

YES — to an extent. We are a small company with a big concept, so we have to be very careful with making promises we can’t keep. What we would like is help from Hound Owners to guide us on how we can better automate the customization process. In this regard, please visit our (blog) or write to training@bloodhoundsearch.com

6. How many customized Bloodhound Hounds (was Search SIMS) can I create?

You can create as many Hounds as you wish. For more help on this, please visit

1. What can Bloodhound do for me?

Unlike Google, our Hounds keep hunting and hunting and hunting — rain or shine, Bloodhounds are continuously searching 364/24/7. The Internet is filled with gems of all sizes and stripes. Once Bloodhound “knows” what gems you are seeking, those are the gems that will be returned to you.

2. I still don’t understand why Bloodhound is much different than Google?

When you use Google it almost always returns to you thousands of “relevant” sites? Google’s model is to return thousands of “relevant” sites listing on the first page those web sites based which have the highest number of visits. Googled (rightly) figured that most customers would be satisfied with what was on the first or second page of their search results.

That’s fine if you want to find a hotel in Milwaukee. Or the results of your favorite sports team. But it’s not so good if you wanted to “drill down” for information of a rare kind.

Why Bloodhoud is different.

Bloodhound search method is based on the idea that its Hounds should continuously search the Net and bring back “new” information precisely tailored to what the “owner” wanted. Our model also relies on “owners” who are motivated to help “train” the Hound — by giving it granulated search instructions — so it would keep looking, looking, lookding.

Help Train the Hound: The longer our “owners”  use the a Hounds, and the more they help the Hound sniff the landscape, the more gems they will return!
3. Can I see some examples where others are using Bloodhound?

Yes! Please view

to get some idea of how diligent our Hounds. For further references you can also contact these users:

etc.

4. How much does it cost?

Bloodhound is free. Users pay nothing our Hounds.

5. If Bloodhound is free, then how do you get paid?

We get paid the same was as Google. On the web pages that Bloodhound returns to you, there are advertisements which are relevant to your particular search. For instance, if you are a sail boat racer looking for results of races in a certain geographic area, by a certain class of boat, the pages returned by Bloodhound will probably carry advertisements from sail makers or boat sellers or rudder builders. If you click on those advertisements, we get a few pennies from those advertising.

6. What if I don’t like paid advertisements?

Some institutions resist the idea of “pay-per-click” advertising and yet would still like to have the benefits that Bllodhound offers. In those cases we have a subscription model. Please contact for more information.

NOTE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES: This should trigger an autoresponder response which should trigger an alert to the appropriate BH contact person.

7. How do I acquire a Bloodhound”?

To get started with Bloodhound,

8. I am having trouble training Bloodhound to return what I want. What can I do?

Global Learn Day — Join us October 7/8, 2006 for Voyage Number Ten
We’d like to think GLD is the world’s most unusual event in the education arena. We open the event in the South Pacific — where the planet begins the New Day –; after that, we then “travel”, virtually, west to Hawaii “the long way around”. From 24 time zones we feature those doing exceptional work in education and technology. This year our two keynote heavyweights are Vint Cerf, Google’s “Chief Internet Evangelist” and Sir John Daniel, who “earned his knighthood changing the landscape of higher education in the UK”. Both have keynoted at our event previously, but this is the first time we have put them side-by-side. (With some hard questions about technology explosion and little change in education delivery!) Why do we call it a “Voyage”? Because our make-believe “ship” makes a global “voyage of discovery” once each year.
