Searching through myriad of information in the Internet is a tedious task. Sometimes we spend hours to get what we require. Today I read about social search engines. If you want a single line definition, it's a trend that is introducing human element into Internet searches. If search engines are technology's gift to knowledge seeking and sifting, using spiders and bots which retrieve information in a split second, they are now turning populist, literally, using people to rate sites and thereby influence their ranking.
Certainly results based on BOT+HUMAN is better than results by BOT. And now comes the fun part. Why would anyone bother to rate the websites???. Because they offer us incentives. TRUE!!!.
For each search you do on their website you earn points which can be redeemed for prizes. Now you naturally think about the quality of the search result !!!! The results are the real time compilation of the search results from other top search engines. So the real purpose is never compromised.
One such site I found is irazoo.com and I registered for it. They gave me a referral banner through which if anyone register i earn some points. As the concept is really good I really recommend it. I hate spam mails so I won't send one. I also request people not to import your address book simply and send loads of mails and make a mess.
If you want to register through my referral link then click,
Karthik's Link
Or else if you feel why you should go through my link when you can directly register yourself, please check out www.irazoo.com . The look and feel is not that great as google's but still give it a try.
