[Introducing our first post from simplerich!]
Imagine: A world with an internet full of information, full of sources. Some sources you trust, some sources you don’t, and some you just don’t know anything about.
Imagine: A search engine that doesn’t care what sources you care about but only cares about some weird weighting system that is played like a mouth harp at a Charles Schulzesque spelling bee, giving results that are link farms, advertisement strong and content weak, or just plain unreliable.
Imagine you want to share your reliable sites with friends, family, and trusted blog readers, let them know what sites you trust, what sources you believe are well researched and insightful. Now imagine a search engine that will weight those sites, sites you trust, sites you choose, a little heavier, serve them up first… offer the results only from those sites if you like.
You don’t have to imagine any longer. The fine people at google recognized a need for a tuneable search engine for us unwashed masses. They recognized the need, coded it up, and released it for mass-consumption. Google co-op lets you parlay your experience, and lets people who trust your judgment, good taste, and the work you have already put into things to helping let YOU make a value-added internet experience for your readers who use their search engine, tweaked by you. Got all that?
