A Great New Search Engine

I love finding ways to make my life easier. That said, I was so excited to hear about AAfter.com. This site is so cool. I just went there, and typed in my zip code, and it brought up so much information about my town. I was looking at everything from restaurants to specialized doctor's care. I could even Find local business faster using AAfter.com search. My favorite Chinese restaurant was even included in the listings.

There are so many other great ways to use this site, too. You can type in any question, and have answers pop up from wiki, yahoo, chacha, eHow, YouTube, and many other popular sites. AAfter.com will even do spell check on your question, so mistypes or misspelled words are correctable before the search is even begun. Kids can use this site for homework assistance, and you can even post anonymously on Twitter.

Now that's pretty cool!

Be A Star

Have you heard about SCOUR? I just discovered it, and it is a great search engine that allows you to get search results from Google, Yahoo, and MSN all on one page. It also gives you the power to vote on each result, moving it up or down the page. This makes it more user oriented, as results are not display based solely on the opinion of one person.

Right now, you can make your own Scour Commercial for a chance to win $500 and the opportunity to have your commercial displayed on the Scour homepage, where it will be seen by over a million unique visitors each month. All you have to do is write, direct, and star in your own video that is less than 45 seconds long, making sure to mention some key words. Once finished, upload it to YouTube, and have all your friends and family vote for it. The three videos with the most votes will go before the Scour judges, who will pick the winner. If you are a blogger, this could be an amazing way to get exposure for yourself. And lets face it, that's why we blog. We want people to read what we have to say.
