Mark. Huh, yes, it does look interesting.

I just read the pr and didn't go looking for the patent
yet (too sleepy). On the face of it, it appears to be
some kind of rules-based method for constructing comparative
shopping bots. If-then-do prolog kind of thing, across a spectrum
of network sources. If so, then it is at a lower level than
GMGC's agent work (which defines how agents go from place
to place, in a secure manner, and interact with a native
system, but leaves open exactly what the agents do once
they get there). Thus, in that sense the two technologies
are complementary.

Probably the only conclusion one can safely draw is that
the hype factor for intelligent agents is ratcheting upward.
