Is Google the best search engine?

In Romania, there are a lot of people who use exclusively Google as their search engine. While I respect their point of view, and think that Google is very good, I believe that there are tools that, in some cases, can bring you better results.

I hope you’ve all heard of Del.icio.us, the social bookmarking web application. If you haven’t, Del.icio.us is just an online collection of favorite links. The interesting part is that you can search through others bookmarks. In many cases you’ll find sites that are really cool, and are not that high in Google’s hierarchy.

Those who use Del.icio.us are above average internet users, with very good skills in finding interesting information. So, Del.icio.us, depending on what you search, can offer you more high quality results…

Your personal desktop for the web?

Symbaloo is a very interesting web 2.0 app, which aims to become your personal desktop for the web. The interface is cool and easy, and the interactivity is provided by simple drag and drop. Another cool thing is that you don’t have to register.
