I've been in the search industry for 20+ years and few have made as much of a contribution as Bill. His tireless work digging into search engine patents has helped the entire industry better understand the many types of factors that search engines might use in their algorithms. His analysis of those possibilities has helped countless people better understand search. On top of that, he has been a great presence on the speaking circuit freely sharing his learnings with others.

Bill - thanks for everything you have done to make this industry a better place!
