Amped News has an interesting article reflecting on the current state of PC gaming and how Games for Windows is meant to not only boost PC gaming, but help Microsoft set up dominance for the Xbox 360 in the console space. From the article: ""Mark your calendars: January 30th 2007 will be the most significant day in gaming for the next several years.' It's difficult to know if he's right. Taking history into consideration, the launch of new operating systems has caused gamers more pain than pleasure, at least initially. Anyone playing PC games during the transition from MS-DOS to Windows 95 can testify to that...The foundation must be laid with care, no matter what the initial inconvenience. Because Microsoft knows this, January 30th, 2007 is a day that not only marks a rebirth of sorts for the PC gaming industry, it will also be known in history books as the day Microsoft launches a surprise attack for console dominance."

The list includes Artificial Intelligence systems, Clustering engines, Recommendation Search engines, Metasearch, and many more hidden gems of search. People use four main search engines for 99.99% of their searches: Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask.com (in that order). But Knight has discovered, via his work as an SEO, that in the other .01% lies a vast multitude of the most innovative and creative search engines around."

Yet in 2007, this person has somehow vanished; even the term is scarcely mentioned. What happened? A decade later I'm left wondering: Who killed the Webmaster?"
