“Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak — currently strutting his stuff as a competitor on the ABC show ‘Dancing With the Stars’ — is joining the advisory board of search startup DeepDyve,” Rachel Metz reports for The Associated Press.
“DeepDyve Chief Executive William Park said he got to know Wozniak through mutual acquaintances and wanted him on the board because of the personal computing pioneer’s passion for the convergence of technology and education. Park said he also was drawn to Wozniak’s efforts to make technology more powerful and yet easier to use,” Metz reports.
“Park said the advisory board, which meets twice a year, is intended to help shape the company’s strategy and the direction of its products,” Metz reports. “Sunnyvale, Calif.-based DeepDyve operates a search engine that tries to help users access the vast stores of online information not indexed by traditional search engines like Google and Yahoo. This includes medical databases, patent and reference information.”
