Checked out searchme. Makes finding things kinda slow. I found bevyfind.com, which lets you both see all results from a Google Search, and let’s you open the actual website link right on the search page. Makes finding what you’re looking for REALLY quick.

Being able to see, visually, your ad landing page is cool, although the search results still need to be made a lot more accurate, at the moment they simply do not compare, in terms of relevancy, to Google or Yahoo, which is a shame because the searchme platform is great. I love how interactive it is, this is how search should become. Hopefully the accuracy will take hold with time. I’ve downloaded the searchme widget for my blog and written a thumbs-ups post for it http://www.3ac....dget-super-cool get involved!

too bad they dont have a strategic business to business social network agenda. they need to be more sticky. i like their product and it has potential they just dont have a great domain and social network clue. they appear to need more “talent”.

Anyone who has worked with resources out of India quickly learns that their culture is one of obedience and class and not creative thinking. From testers to designers and developers, way too much structure and hand-holding is required. The only way that will ever change is if enough Indians return to India after getting “Americanized”, but at that point who in their right mind would move back to India?

Yeah – and the quantcast stuff is all fake. I know the internal numbers for searchme, and they are at 75k searches per day. Please – that is not a search engine. They are another $100M search flop.

BTW, they copied the Ads from Cooliris which was the first company to come up with this kind of Ads, and they do a phenomenal job with it.

they arent the first to do this, RedZee.com has been doing this for a while…might want to change the title from “Paid Search Just Got Visual” to something along the line of “Another Visual Search Engine Adds Advertisements”.

Thanks Jonathan for your kind comments.

Yes, there is quite a lot of new innovation going on in India. I wrote a long post about it in my blog http://smartbab...-valley_22.html, but the gist of it is that this global economic recession is actually creating more entrepreneurs and innovation in India, not less.

Yauba is just one example of this trend that I am seeing here in India. I am still playing around with the Yauba search myself, but it is very nicely designed for sure. I’ll post a full review after I’ve explored it further.

Actually I thats a pretty cool idea, a total rip off of Mac’s computer search app (which I find tremendously useful).

When I use Google many times I have to click through to see if this is the result that I want… So in a way searchme saves that time.
There are 2 problems as I see them:
1. Their ads and display is fine. But their search sucks. I looked for domain names and the search threw up results which were buried in some linkedIN pages.
2. What prevents google from doing this sort of thing? I mean how much ‘technology’ is there in this? Is this IP protected?
