Worio Search

Keyword searching is well and good, but in order for it to be effective you need to know what words to use, and oft times you don't. This is where social search engines start to come into play because you can see what other people have searched for, see recommendations and so on. Rather than using some computer algorithm to see what's what, using people is another option. This is where Worio Search enters. Run  a search for your subject, and then concentrate on the results on the right hand side of the screen.

These results are based on what people have discovered; they are related to your keyword, but not restricted to the word itself. It's further able to personalise results by watching your tagging activity and the results that you click on. As you might expect with a new generation search engine you can save results and share them with other people. Thanks to Charles at AltSearchEngines for this one.
