Sproose - A New User Powered Search Engine


Sproose, “user powered search” a new age search engine, allows users to vote for their favorite websites and influence the index ranking of the search results. Once voted, the index is instantly refreshed moving the site up creating improved results for each user. The more users that vote a site the further up in the index it goes. Users may share their voted site history with others connecting users with similar interests. click here to try sproose

I have went over to sproose and and checked it out. I did a bunch of random searches comparing the results to those of google, yahoo, and ask. The results were a pretty close match with yahoo and ask but not quite so much with google. The plus side of the "user powered" approach is that it integrates the algorithmic search results with those voted up the results list by users. It seems to be a mix of bookmarking sites like digg or delicious combined with the user interaction of StumbleUpon and the organic results of normal search engines. It isn't strictly vote based. Another plus is that they have set up a comment system where those that "sproose" up search results can comment on why they did it and what about that particular result was relevant to the search terms. Overall I think Sproose has found a good niche in the search engine world and will be a successful player.

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should
