Collarity is a web service that collects user-generated search activity on a partner’s site, extracts the knowledge from the implicit communities that are formed, and then applies the gathered intelligence in a way that allows all users to quickly see what other experts and searchers like them have found previously. Collarity is an easy way for web publishers to provide both personalized results and collaborative filtering from every other visitor on the publisher's site.

I think Collarity need to solve 2 things: 1)global search should have similiar accurate result with google or other giant engines 2)squeezing from global to personal search, algorithm can precisely predict personal behavior; otherwise, users will abandon useless service soon. sounds great!

However, looking at the number of companies trying to corner this market, it reminds me of late 1990s when Yahoo, Lycos, Alta Vista and other search engines abandoned the “search” functionality and went after the portal market. This gave an opening to Google. All these new venture funded companies are trying to capture the personalized search market at any cost, and may end up with a great personalization tool and a crapy search engine. Google’s “BackRub” project was out there for years before any VC funding was raised. For any new search company to be successful and take market share from Google, it has to be more than a pretty tool, including a business model that will bring revenue.

Personalized search is absolutely not new, Google is also doing some kind of personalized search, but the screenshots I saw show that Collarity serves innovative interfaces on a network of independent sites.
