Knover is a new search engine that attempts to outline relationships between noted personalities and organizations or concepts.
The site works like this: You type in a name, and the search engine will turn up a picture of the person, a small biography, and a list of people connected with the individual. The relations are based on a web search of sites that mention your query and other names.
At times this results in crazy, but quite entertaining, results:
I tried typing "Queen of Denmark" and Knover made a connection to both "Howard Stern" and lead singer in Metallica "James Hetfield".!!??
Not all connections are this far fetched, though!
The company has 16,000 personalities on file at the moment and hopes to expand it to 100,000 in a year or so.
