Anyone else find it amusing that their “how-to” video is hosted on youtube? You’d think they’d invest in hosting their own video rather than using the service of their main competitor…just a thought.

[...] Another new search engine came into the fray this week. This one is based off the new search initiative that allows users to create their own search engine using Yahoo BOSS. It is called SearchCloud and it allows searchers to specify which keyword or keyword phrase is more important. The idea behind it is that with a weighting going to each search term the searcher includes, it will improve search relevance in relation to that specific user. However, it remains to be seen how well this user influenced search works in practice. Check out a review about the search engine from TechCrunch here: http://www.tech...arch-relevance/ [...]

Sounds very similar to my continual plea-into-the-ether about how Google should let people vote on search results and take some of the wind out of social media’s sails.

Also, there’s always Spock, which does a similar thing but for people rather than .. stuff!

Why not have user weighted tags (vote tag up or down). Then can utilize a drag and drop plus sliders to have a discovery engine. crowd sourced content definition, with an element of controll. unweighted tags didnt work cause others couldnt remove stupid ones.

This new thing about SearchCloud is definitely great. However, if Yahoo! and Goggle will tend to imitate it, internet users will still be worse off to use SearchCloud…What a pity…

[...] SearchCloud är en intressant uppstickare på sökmarknaden. Tror deras teknik kanske inte kommer fungera bäst för konsumentsök men tror å andra sidan att det kommer behövas nya verktyg inom sök. Jag känner faktiskt att SearchCloud har något på spåren. (Techcrunch) [...]

Well, at least one thing’s for sure…if it does become popular (gaining even a few % of the search market), it’s going to make the owner of SearchCloud.com–if they know what they’re doing–rich.

Building a search engine on a .net? Ugh.

SearchCloud, very stupid idea, nobody will go through so much trouble when they can just enter the keywords on google and get good results (compared to other engines, its still unbeatable, even the cuil.com, which is just a search engine, google has more services to keep you locked in)

also, very long name, not gonna fly in a thousand years. Sorry for whoever put money or wasted time building this

Find a site you like the design of and copy it.

SearchCloud also makes it harder to search for a long string of text. Type one keyword, weight, second keyword, weight … (re)

The concept is good, although the results I got weren’t that different.

As this article says: “At first, we all Ohh and Ahh… but after five minutes, we return to our Googling” and now that I think about it, they need a name they can conjugate.

“I’ll google it” –> works
“I’ll yahoo it” –> well, maybe
“I’ll live.com it” –> are you kidding?
“I’ll cuil it” –> next!
“I’ll SearchCloud it” –> yeah, right

Point taken. I know it’s ugly. I suck at design. I’m working on it, I swear. In any event, this story is all tied up – 50/50 thrive/fail.
