Vivisimo the next Google?

edited January 2004 in Science & Tech
Everyone knows Google is the top dog for web searches, but is web searching just about how much data can be thrown onto your screen? Maybe it's about the quality and appearance of this data, rather than the quantity of it.

    For $50 it should bring you the info you want on a silver platter...Google might take a bit of digging but I'm a cheapskate and it fits my pricing range, FREE!!

    just checking out vivisimo.com, i like the way it arranges the info. for example, try a search for short-media and look at all the crap that shows up on the left! links to all sorts of actual S-M related stuff

    wants a Google appliance cluster, instead....

    Alternatively, if you want to pay the upfront cost, Google now has Intranet\Extranet appliances you can buy and own, turnkey style with your own Google software set. Software is licensed, update subscription basis.

    http://www.google.com/appliance/ for more info.

    Vivisimo, AllTheWeb, both nice, for different things.
