Google, Yahoo, and MSN need to take notice of a new search engine that has emerged. Scour is a great new social search engine that searches all the major engines and implements thumbs up and thumbs down rankings.

The best part in all of this is that you get paid to use it. That's correct, you get paid. Every time you place a search you earn points, once you hit certain levels they pay you cash money. :D

Have you made the switch yet? :unsure:

What are your thoughts on this?

I've just signed up for Scour and it appears like it uses existing search engines, can someone clarify that for me if I'm wrong.

Yes, in fact the most popular results are indexed and displayed from Google, Yahoo, msn, etc.

Scour's results are all indexed from the three major search engines.

This is no way better than Google. Google is simple to use without going through the crap Scour offers.

Searches are slow, and the results are so far spread out. They even know if they put the search results closer, people will get confused.

fail.

It seems alright but Google is so popular now that people will just that.

Google is just so popular only with the brain dead and the people that simply can't make their own decisions!! Have to use it just because everyone else is.

Never have been to keen on these meta search engines though. Will still check it out.

As far as that comment on the cuil site. What a joke there!!

So its not a search engine. Its just a website that passes through your search terms to the real search engines.

Google is just so popular only with the brain dead and the people that simply can't make their own decisions!! Have to use it just because everyone else is.

Or maybe its popular because it, you know, comes up with the most reliable results most of the time. No, that can't be it.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
