Big.com is a simple search engine that has the biggest search results on the web. Now, when I say the “Biggest” results on the web, I’m not talking about how many pages it has indexed or how many people it employs - I’m talking about readability.

Big.com touts it’s service as “The Most Readable Search Results on the Web” and provides it’s users with a simple interface and a default 26 pixel font size. Considering that most search engines display their results in the standard 10-12 pixel font, I think this is a pretty safe assumption. More »

Viewzi.com is a visual search engine with one of the most beautiful, yet complex user interfaces I’ve ever seen.  Instead of taking a machine approach to search results - Where results are presented in the same, list type view - Viewzi provides it’s users 2 dozen or so interpretations or “views” of your query.

Viewzi is a completely new approach to search.  There are many different visual search engines out there including Rollyo and Searchme, however none of them even come close to flexibility Viewzi Provides.

When a friend asks you about the move you saw last night, do you go into a long dissertation on the development of the characters, the plot lines, or the imagery?  Unless you’re a film major… probably not.  Typically you have a quick answer like, “It was awesome!” or “It sucked, it was way to long and boring”.  So, why spend time reading through lengthy reviews from some stuffy, elitist critic?  Try Blippr.com instead.

Blippr is a social review site that allows it’s users to rate movies, music, books, and games in 160 characters or less. Given the recent popularity of short messaging services - or “lifecasting” applications like Twitter and Plurk - Blippr has taken that concept and molded it into a nice little review site.

Cuil.com - The “Cool” New Search Engine?

Cuil (pronounced “cool”) is a new search engine by ex-googler Anna Patterson.  Cuil launched late last night with the very lofty claim to have a larger index than Google with over 120 Billion web pages in it’s database(s).  However, bigger doesn’t always mean better.

After using Cuil for a few hours throughout the day, I found some good things, some bad things, and some things I couldn’t find at all.  It appears that Cuil does very well at overall subjects or concepts, but seems to miss the point if you’re looking for something specific. The following paragraphs will go into a little more details of my initial impressions and findings. Read further and find out for yourself how it stacks up. More »

*note: This is Part 4 of our Series on the network of Loud3r Vertical Search Engines. You can Follow along by subscribing to our RSS Feed

The Fourth in our series of the Loud3r group of sites is a search engine dedicated to the movies called Screen3r.com.  At first glance, you might think that Screen3r is just another IMDB clone.  After all, both sites cover the same industry and organize their information by Movies, Actors, Actresses, and directors. However they’re actually two different sides of the same coin.  IMDB functions more as a database of movie stats and information, while Scree3r is more focused on the latest news stories around the movie industry. Screen3r does provide some information about actors and such, in the form of a side bar populated with data from Wikipedia.org.
