Silicon Alley Insider: Accoona IPO: RIP. Accoona, the odd New Jersey e-commerce company that thought it was a search company, has finally given up on its quixotic quest to go public.

OK, Baidu surprised me, but is there really room for yet another search engine? Google works pretty well most of the time. However, I’ve seen Google fail before when it does not return any relevant result on some of my long tail searches. I’ve added Accoona Corp. contracts to the site. However, several are as PDFs because they curiously filed many of their material contracts as scanned images instead of as text.
