A couple of months ago Google released a new Search app for iOS devices. Now, today, they are releasing an update to that app based on user feedback they have received. The new version is touted as faster and easier to use. Google claims that search is now 20% faster as you type in your queries. They have also turned

Yahoo! continues to condense the Yahoo! Giant. This time, it's Yahoo! Buzz - the Digg-like site that aggregates news articles. In a statement made on the website, it says: Yahoo! Buzz will be discontinued as of April 21, 2011. As of this date, you will be unable to access the Yahoo! Buzz site. This was a hard decision. However this
If you follow the news about Google or search you know that what some people call content farms have become a big issue.

There’s a free Google Mobile App that I found in the iPod/iPhone app store that I decided to give a try.

There are a couple of things that Blekko does that I wish Google would adopt, the first is there spam filter. If you search for something using Blekko and within your search stream you see a site that you consider spam. You simply click on the spam indicator and that site is gone from your search forever. Also if you are interested in the SEO of a site, you can hit the SEO indicator and see all the search data about that site. This is great if you want to check why one site is ranked higher then another. You can check your own site and find out where the people who are searching for your site are coming from and which sites are linking to your site. Again though this is something that a power user might be interested in, but not the average user. The average user just wants to find what they are searching for. I do think Blekko is worth trying. However I am afraid that its chance to become main stream is slim. After all they are competing against Google, and Google is hard to beat, just ask Ask.com. Have you tried Blekko, what do you think of it and will you continue to use it.
