Company: Twingine

Location: Norway

What is it?

Twingine was created by Asgeir Nilsen. It was previously, infamously, known as “YaGoohoo!gle”, but after discussions with Yahoo and Google Trademark lawyers, Asgeir changed the name to “Twingine”.

It’s a fun tool. A search yields a two pane results screen with Yahoo and Google results side-by-side.

“TWINGINE: certainly, A-USEFUL-a-fun-tool & seemingly as or more efficient than others, indeed. I, get into it to begin, by typing on-ggogle->>>>>”TWINGINE”; I love it. But, how may I put the ICON-for TWINGINE onto my desktop whereat my other useful stuffs-are that are activated by doble-clicking on any one I desire to go to to activate? Many thanks.

I found a similar tool (copycat? ) a bit more useful: http://simsanity.com, it allows you to choose a search engine from a long list
