Diffbot Raises $10 Million; Will Mike Tung Become Dr Evil? - Video

Diffbot is a artificial intelligence startup ran by its CEO Mike Tung, who started it in 2008. I interviewed him about it in 2009, originally. What Diffbot does is scrape information from websites. But now that Diffbot scored $10 million from three investors, he told the New York Times he wants to get all human knowledge and become the Amazon of data. Sounds like Tung is on his way to becoming Dr. Evil. What Diffbot could do comes close to flirting with privacy and copyright laws. Let's see what becomes of Diffbot.
