The Chief Technology Officer for AgHaven is Pat McGinty. He’s responsible for the software that runs AgHaven. We talked about their agricultural search engine which is really tweaking the interest of a lot of people. He says that it allows for search results specific to agriculture. It’s not search results from other search engines. He says they crawl the web and find pages that fit the ag category and then prepare them for delivery to users. He knows of no other website that can do this. This could make searching much less time intensive.

We also talked about the social networking section of AgHaven. He says that businesses can feel comfortable using it since there are a number of built in security features that make it a better environment for business than a place like Facebook.

Pat also makes a point to encourage people to visit and provide feedback. There’s still a lot of development to do in AgHaven and this is a good time to let them know what you think.
