This is a new search engine to me, but it's apparently one of the top ten tweeting accounts in the world. Just goes to show that tweeting isn't everything huh? Dragtotop is I suppose a social search engine. The idea is that you search (results pulled from Google), and drag those results across into a new column, thus:
You can create an account and see your own material - so it's a little akin to the Google +1 concept as far as I can tell. I found the screen rather messy however, as you can vote drags up, so we end up with bunches of little icons dotting the place like insane confetti thrown by overactive wedding guests. There's a bunch of stuff that you can do, such as create business pages, share stuff with friends on Twitter and so on. To be honest however, I find it really hard to get enthusiastic about this stuff. It's good and great, but has the problem all these startups suffer with, which is that no-one is using them. And if no-one uses them, why should I? There's a list of recent searches, and I ran mine about 10 minutes ago, and it's still the most recent. Which I'm afraid says quite a lot.
