Content management company Squiz has acquired Funnelback, an Australian search firm spun off from the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation.
Blogs could be the next frontier for governments to discuss plans and policies with citizens, according to special minister of state Gary Nairn. He told the CeBIT conference in Sydney this morning that blogs could represent a "new era" in community interaction.
Local search specialist and CSIRO spinoff Funnelback will continue to provide search services to the federal government's primary online portal and other Web sites, in a two-year deal worth AU$2.25 million.
The Australian government will launch a new whole of government search service across its external Web sites in January next year.
Australia's peak science body CSIRO has spun off its state-of-the-art Web search technology to form a new company.
