Daily Cup of Tech

With Google doing weird things with their ads, you start to wonder if it might be a good idea to start looking around for ways to not use them.  I came across a search portal called Leapfish that combines the search power of all the major search engines into a simple page with the information that you will probably need.

The main page for the website is very clean.  It is not blank like Google or cluttered like Yahoo.  There are four small columns that provide some very useful information such as Market Summary, Date & World Times, News, Latest YouTube Videos, Household Tips, and the Weather.

One of the nice things about Leapfish that I like is the fact that it does not wait for you to click or hit enter.  It starts working automatically when you start typing.  It also lets me pull results from different search engines without starting all over.

And, since they are trying to get their web portal off the ground, they are presently holding a contest where you can win a WiiFit From LeapFish. Nothing wrong with that!

So, if you are just curious about a different search portal or maybe looking for an alternative, you may want to look at Leapfish.

   Personally, I’ve enjoyed using Clusty as a meta-search engine. I like how they form clusters of search results to further narrow results down.

   How is Clusty different from Dogpile or any other search engine?
   I looked at leapfish and it offers so much more than what we’re used to.

   Too be honest - I’m a bigger fan of Dogpile than Google. Clusty is not as clean either.

   Dogpile supports charitable causes and work with all independent search providers to give a good mix of results.

   People are too lazy when it comes to search and want it all to be laid out for them in one engine. Problem is, Google, MSN and Yahoo all pick what shows up where.

   Research is meant to be RESEARCH - so look around for solid results.

   BTW - Dogpile.com just launched a new site called http://www.DoGreatGood.com - and their donating a portion of there revenue to Petfinder and the ASPCA.

   Great that theres a way we can help dog adoption programs at no cost.
