PressFlip.com - A Search Engine That Learns What You Like
PressFlip.com is a search engine that learns from your past search preferences to tailor your search results the next time. There’s two ways that PressFlip can modify it’s algorithms to provide more accurate results. First, they have a login system so you can save searches for future use. The next time you search, it takes those saved items to mold your current results. Second, there’s a little “flip” button next to your search results. By pressing this button, it tells the system that you’re not interested in this result (hence the name “PressFlip”). At first, it feels a little counter intuitive to tell it that you don’t like results… but, I suppose to provides a way to remove results from the search field.
This is an interesting approach to search and one that’s a little out of left field. There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding privacy and how much data search engines store. PressFlip essentially reverses this and deliberately stores the information. But, by signing up and using this service, you’re essential consenting to it. So, if this is something that you’re interested in, go for it.
