Well, if you believe a recent a research study into why there are so many search start-ups which says that a search engine with only 1% market share is worth up to $3 billion dollars a year you quickly understand.

The study details and additional information were posted on AltSearchEngines.com. The name of the study was, “New Competitive Dynamics of Search” created by C.H. “Chandra” who is the Co-Founder and CEO, Yauba New Media.

It is a very interesting read for those that are interested in search and the marketplace.

Who says an animated logo is not fashionable nowadays? Well no one told DirGator.com as I am pretty sure no graphic designer actually created their logo (or header graphic - looks like a mismash of clip art - also is the animated part actually a dinosaur?).

A good friend just sent me this video.



If so, run, run far and fast....:-)

It is funny, but what is not so funny is that this happens all the time and when you are in the middle of it you are wondering, what the hell? Do they not see what they are doing or do they know and just don't care.

Also, on of my favorite client videos from my days in the creative world was this one (pretty funny, but also very common).



Have fun!

While real-time search is not new. Twitter has it's own search engine - Twitter Search or you could check out OneRiot or even Scoopler, but it seems that Collecta has figured out one of the better interfaces and make real-time search simple as most of the other engines appear to overwhelm you with data.

From the website:

Collecta is not like other search engines.
The web is alive with real-time information. So why search a stale archive? Collecta monitors the update streams of news sites, popular blogs and social media, and Flickr, so we can show you results as they happen. Give it a try.

What is PageHeat?

PageHeat is an interesting venture that tries to replace Google PageRank with a new website rating system that combines what they see as the two most important website factors - search traffic and link popularity in order to provide an overall site ranking or as they call it, a PageHeat ranking.

I am not sure where they are getting their data for the estimate traffic and/or the overall backlinks (for link popularity) and I would be curious as to what actually all goes into their forumla, but I am interested that someone is trying to compete with Google's stranglehold on the ever popular PageRank.
