Mark Furber, MD of a UK strategic online marketing company called NetCallidus, is warning anyone who might be listening that the publicly funded QUAERO European search engine research project is doomed to failure.

Expensive failure at that: Furber says that the project, hyped as at the Euro equivalent of Google (don't we already have one of those, and it is called Google) will cost £75 million before vanishing into the ether.

Something that Furber says is ridiculous as Internet technology will have significantly changed by 2013. Some, of course, might accuse Furber of doing nothing more...
