anyone used this?
its a new research engine with REAL people doing the search
give them a subject and they will look for the most relevant pages for you! (search with guide)
looks kinda cool. don't know how long it will last (also don't know if the guides are paid or vol)

this has a lot of potential to be a big player in the search market. way better than any webcrawler, mostly spam proof and accurate!

Nice find, I'll check it out.

I typed in stuff and clicked the "search with a guide". It connects to a chat type thing but then someone started to talk to me and I freaked :eek:

Surely all they do is just look on google and post back the results lol?

LOL. You know the person at the other end probably did the same when you just disconnected for no reason!

wuss!
I think that most if not all of us are "good" search users, as good as or better than these guys. BUT for the average user, or a researcher who has no time to do this it would seem like a good service!

Rofl AmanaR is part of a cult and this 'Guide' business is merely a recruitment campaign for new followers imo

lol I let him/her give me the invite, I'm not actually going to take that job.

Although it's probably better than what most places give 16 year olds.

Go back to the site, connect to the same person, and ask something like:

"What are my chances of taking you out to dinner?"

I think any answer would be utter class!
