Searchme Beta Accounts for Search Lounge readers

(Thanks Bill!)

Grab an instant Searchme Beta access account.

We’re starting to roll things out at Searchme. Head over to searchme.com to sign up for a Beta invite. On our press page you can check out screen shots and videos of our search engine. Note that we’re still working really hard to continue to build and improve all components of the engine, hence the ubiquitous “Beta” label.

I think there’s a bit of confusion because people are comparing us to other “visual” engines like snap.com. But snap.com uses Yahoo as its search engine whereas we’ve built everything in-house from our web map to our index to our classifiers, etc. I also hope people see that we’re a classification engine, which is one of the things my team works on, as well as presenting search results differently. Classifying the web at such a massive scale is a new thing as far as I know.

There are some articles circulating. On TechCrunch SearchMe Launches New Search Engine With Heavy Backing From Sequoia. And on All Things Digital Searchme: A New Visual Search Engine.

And here’s a silly little video that shows our engine…

Just kidding! I wouldn’t do that to you.

Pour yourself a glass of whiskey (this is the Search LOUNGE after all), kick back and watch as the New York Times and its readers try and figure out what people who aren’t developers actually do at search engines. The People Inside Google’s Black Box. Even Danny Sullivan weighs in on the topic.

Some of the comments have some of it right. If you put them all together it looks like the truth is in there! Anyways, happy reading.
