Rowdii.com is a new search engine with social commentary and linking capabilities. By creating an account, users can comment and discuss the result with other users, as well as link sites together.

While the social commentary on search results is nothing new (See our review of Scour.com), the site does present some interesting features and a new take on search results. I’ll walk you through a few of my findings below of this very clean little search engine. More »

Scour.com is a new take on the social search engine Genre. While most “social” search engines rely on group or growd input for finding results. However Scour uses major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and MSN, then allows it’s users to vote on results and provide comments as well.

On top of being a rather well thought out and useful search engine, Scour also “pays you to search”. Essentially, if you sign up for an account with them, you earn points for every time you search. These points are then redeamable by means of a Scour branded Visa gift card. This is an interesting concept, but one that’s been done before. However, Scour is a useful search engine by itself… so you might as well get paid while you do it. More »
