looksmart and FURL

the next big thing in search

[cyberprosper]

I think Looksmart will become better than any other search engine with their FURL acquisition. Instead of analyzing links/PR etc, they will have access to thousands of users actual bookmarks. The bookmarks can be organized by topic too. Now, THAT is a way to get a lot of people to work for you for free! (also included are ways to share/rate/and syndicate links).

it's been used in the new MyYahoo Search

The biggest difference between the two programs is that LookSmart's Furl allows the user to save the entire text of a website's page. If a bookmarked site goes off the web the page has been saved.
Furl/LookSmart gives the users 5 gigs. of storage.
