Similicio.us a New Relevancy Based Blog Finder

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the finding-tasty-content-for-consumption dept.

Thomas Hawk writes "Similicio.us is a brand new search engine that matches up the database of del.icio.us with the power of the search engine EasyUtil.com The result is a new blog finder tool that can help you discover new websites based upon what you currently like. Interesting to see a small time guy come up with a pretty cool tool like this while the major search players are spending millions trying to improve their own relevancy in blog search."

    No, it's just correctly identified all the blogs that are presently worth reading. Perhaps it's worth using it to check once a year or so? You never know...

    I just can't wait for the ico.us bubble burst of 2012!

    • Spells an English word and uses a .us domain name - check.
    • Says "blog" and "relevancy-based" - check.
    • Lets you type in a domain name and returns a bunch of other domain names that you already knew about - check.
    • Requires Javascript to work and can claim it's got something to do with AJAX - BZZT.
    • Article submitter is linking to his own blog, and is "an investment advisor in a non technology related field" - FLAG ON THE PLAY!

    Total AJAX-based Web 2.0 Buzzword Compliance Score: A humdrum 3 out of 4, one flag on the play for potential conflict of interest.

    Stand down venture capital torpedoes, adjust funding phase to "standby" until the site requires Javascript and Piquepaille or Beatles-Beatles have blogged about it.

    (No hard feelings, Mr. Hawk, but you set yourself up for this :)

    I think we can speak for most of us here when I say,
    ENOUGH ALREADY ! It has jumped the freaking shark or
    whatever.

    To you, maybe... but for those who aren't familiar with the format, they're surreptitio.us

    anncoulter.com appropriately returns anklebitingpundits.com and neowarmonger.blogspot.com.

    100% accuracy. Bravo.

    They are rather repetitio.us.

    Some people might find them ingenio.us, stupendo.us and humoro.us.

    I find them pretentio.us, superfluo.us, and ridiculo.us, not to mention meretricio.us.

    (I had to use my thesaur.us.)
