SMX 搜索引擎超级碗 搜索引擎历史典故搜索引擎超级碗，Google大胜
February 27th, 2008 by inway
从SES转换到SMX品牌，真正热爱搜索引擎的人总是能推陈出新。SMX开始展示这群团队的活力，赢时代很高兴可以与这些伙伴为伍。
在今晚刚刚结束的搜索引擎超级碗（搜索引擎知识大赛）中，由Matt Cutts领衔的Google队大胜，最后捧得本次SMX West大会举办的搜索引擎超级碗大赛冠军。Danny Sullivan在主持过程中，看着参与大赛的记分牌，多次笑称，这些得分的比例多像是各家搜索引擎的市场份额比例图啊。呵呵。
先和大家分享一下最后得分图，在好好介绍本次大赛。
本次大赛是比赛哪一队更搜索知识知道最多，反应最快，首次抢答正确得两分，经提示后或者在别人答错之后再抢答得一分，错误倒扣。
内容涉及搜索引擎的历史、事件、知识、人物等等。
舞台上很象是央视王小丫的开心词典，呵呵，比赛中还有啤酒可以喝，中间有选手问，是不是喝啤酒大赛，因为不管答对答错都喝酒。
本次参赛的队伍主要来自Google、Yahoo、微软、Ask，每家两人组成一队，还有一对是搜索营销专家队伍。
呵呵，中间Danny多次调侃专家队，问他们到底是不是专家，问题都被搜索引擎抢答走了。
典型问题与大家分享如下：
哪一个搜索引擎第一个销售赞助商链接？
可选答案：GoTO、Open Text、Excite?
开放目录（Open Directory Project）最早叫什么？
可选答案：Dmoz、Gnuhoo、NewHoo？
第一个搜索爬虫程序（蜘蛛程序）叫什么？
可选答案：WWWWanderer、WWWWorm、JumpStation?
Google的第一个数据中心是什么人设计的？
可选答案：A Rocket Scientist、A Nuclear Physicist、A Brain Surgeon？
中间有个问题提到百度，应该说是有个选项是百度。如下图。

不过，本题的答案并不是百度。
更多问题下次再分享。下一篇文章公布答案，敬请密切关注赢时代对于SMX的报道。当然，你也不用羡慕美国的同行。SMX马上就到中国，就在今年4月，厦门带来全球搜索引擎行业的最新趋势、知识、技术，当然还有欢乐。
在比赛中，Danny还调侃了一下，说如果微软买了雅虎，得分可能会更高一下。真的会吗，有看下一届搜索引擎超级碗大赛了。
Search Engine Roundtable也有一些照片和视频片段分享。
