SDForum, the venerable Silicon Valley technology and networking locus, has launched a special interest group focused exclusively on search. The first get-together will be 14Sept2005 at Yahoo’s (Yahoo!’s?…where’s the style guide for that one?) headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA, and will feature:
- Doug Kaye, ITConversations
- Ev Williams, Founder/CEO, Odeo.com
- Eric Rice, Founder, Audioblog.com

Through a series of monthly events, the SIG will cover a large diversity of topics: from the latest developments in search to the needs of brands and advertisers, through the issues and key learnings of starting, funding, building, and exiting a search company.”
