Teoma

Teoma, pronounced tay-o-ma, is an Internet search engine founded in 2000 by Apostolos Gerasoulis and his colleagues at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Teoma is unique because of its link popularity algorithm. Unlike Google's PageRank, Teoma's technology (Subject-Specific Popularity) analyzes links in context to rank a web page's importance within its specific subject. For instance, a web page about 'baseball' will rank higher if other web pages about 'baseball' link to it.

Many parts of Teoma's relevancy algorithm are based on the methodology IBM developed for its Clever project.
