Sites That Are Cooler Than Google
May 25, 2010
In the aftermath of Google I/O, the headline surprised me. Google is into TV, mobile, and just about everything the magnetic word “open” attracts. Yet, the Jakarta Post’s headline “Just Like Google Only Cooler” pushed against the tide. You may have some trouble accessing the original. The site was up, then returned a blank page. I did locate an instance of the story in the Google’s cache no less. I thought that was “cool”, but, hey, that’s the addled goose.
Headline aside, I like the write up which was about a number of interesting Web sites. The two points in the write up that I noted were:
First, I was not aware of googlegooglegooglegoogle.com.br. You can run four separate Google searches.
Second, three sites referenced in the article return search results with some added “humor”. Check these out: thatsloco.com, toobigtouse.com and elgoog.rb-hosting.de. (for ElGoog, the query “otto” works like a champ.)
Ah, youth. I just want results sets that evidence high precision and recall scores.
