Searchme
By way of Kathryn Corrick, I found out about searchme, a visual search engine with which you can see the actual web pages that come up during a search. I signed up for a beta invite and have been using it quite a bit over the past two days.
Not sure if the results equal Google, but I doubt anyone starts a new search engine with the intention of being a Google killer. The ability to actually see the pages is frightfully cool and I’m a big fan of the scrolling (think Piclens).
There are only two things I have issues with so far:
1. Setting the speed of “flip throughs” : I wish I could adjust the speed of sorting through the pages.
2. Browsing by placing mouse on either side of the screen: I would love to browse by doing this instead of using the scroll bar at the bottom. Does that make sense?
Other than that, I like what I see. If you’re interested in testing it out, sign up for an invite at the site.
