Anna and Helen over at Tech Chick Tips did a podcast (while driving in their car, no less) and gave a shout-out to Searchme:
“If only I could see that web page, I know I’d recognize it! Searchme!”
Thanks, ladies. Keep your eyes on the road.
We found this weekly tech news show from Canada – they’ve chosen Searchme as one of their web picks.
Thanks, guys!
Genealogy Reviews Online talks about a really cool way to use Searchme categories in their article “A New Way to Search the Internet”:
As soon as I arrived on the site I plugged in my name to see what came up. Before I even hit the button to search, a little green tree appeared with the word “genealogy” written over the top. This gives you the option of searching for only genealogy sites or everything.
We’re glad the genealogy category is useful to you!
Sean Maguire over at Marking Pilgrim has this to say in his article “Searchme; the “Apple” of your Search Eye?”
“Google is to the PC (utilitarian) as searchme is to the MAC (elegant).”
Besides the obvious fact that we love to get props, this is a really well-written, well-thought-out article. Thanks, Sean.
We got this last night from Charles Knight over at AltSearchEngines:
Congratulations! ReadWriteWeb’s network blog AltSearchEngines.com celebrated its anniversary today, and selected SearchMe as the Search Engine of the month for June 2008 - one of only 10 that there will be for 2008.
Thanks, Charles, and congratulations yourself on your anniversary!
It’s great to see how different professions are using Searchme. For example, Searchme’s features seem to have a lot of value for lawyers and people doing legal research.
Over at the New York Civil Law blog, they write:
I came across this search engine that I thought you would be interested in… This search engine provides query results by visually depicting the screen shots displayed like those old-time juke boxes.
And Law.com’s Legal Technology blog gives an example:
“As I type “antonin scalia,” for example, icons appear for U.S. government, courts, politicians, U.S. news and history. I can select one of these icons or ignore them and search across topics. The icons remain visible throughout, so you can narrow your search at any time.”
Scott Berg, Hewlett-Packard’s Worldwide Media Director, muses about visual search and Searchme on his HP blog, ‘The Changing Face of Media’:
“I’m fascinated on the direction(s) search is starting to take…. Where search begins to be even more user friendly and visually appealing.”
Thanks to the folks at Decreased Sales, “A Blog about Books and Computers”, for this:
“I’ve started using Searchme as my primary search engine, and I’m impressed.”
Thanks what we like to hear! Thank you.
Today we’re liking the folks over at TrendCentral, who forecast trends for Gen X, Gen Y and Tweens. They kindly mentioned Searchme in ‘Cool Websites To Bookmark’:
“With visual search being predicted as where the search category will be heading in the future, this site is one to watch.”
Thanks, guys!
One of our favorite recent posts is over at Search Engine News, entitled “Searchme: Most Visual Search Engine Yet?” Terri Wells does a thorough review of the site and walks people through our features step by step (while acknowledging that we’re still in beta - thank you).
“Visual search engines try to show us that there’s a better way to search than by looking at 10 links with snippets on a page and making an educated guess. Most try to say that they’re more intuitive. Searchme really is.”
Check it out, and thank you, Search Engine News!
