New Search Engine Attempts to Capitalize on Human Touch

Two days ago a new start-up search engine opened up for business on the web with the philosophy that humans are better at information gathering than computers. The search engine, PreFound.com carries the tagline "search what people have already found about your topic!"

UPI carried the story "New search engine uses human touch' on January 18 and reports that searches are based on uploaded links generated by users. Users download a tool known as PF Finder that collect information and tags website links that are then uploaded.

Apparently the number of results uploaded which now numbers over a million is still not enough to always produce a result. When I tested for a few of my favorite topics, I did not get any results and instead got a link to Google.

While the initial look did not help me get information that I wanted today, the search service has the potential for adding another valuable tool to your search kit.
