Gravee Search Engine
Gr@vee (pronounced like the stuff you'd put on mashed potatoes) wants to be your new search engine/social bookmarking/tagging site.
Competing against Google, MSN et al. is a rather tall order, but they are coming at it with some unique ideas. My expectation is that they'll be over and done with in the blink of an eye, but maybe some of their ideas will resonate through to the big boys.
First up, they let you, the searcher, vote on whether the results displayed are relevant. This is a big, big hole in Google and most other search engines. It's important both individually (don't show me *that* if I search again for the same subject) and collectively (if twenty thousand people said that page isn't about donuts and only one said it is, it isn't about donuts and you shouldn't show it to me). Unfortunately, Gr@vee seems to only have understood the collective side of that, so unless and until a lot of people start using it, it isn't any more helpful than Google.
Gr@vee also offers to share revenue with both content providers and searchers.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
