Snap: "transparent" search engine with cool features
Snap is a new search engine (just unveiled at the Web 2.0 conference, which I'm attending this week in San Francisco) that combines JavaScript-based query refining, click-stream mining, and lots of other foofaraw (including a "transparency" system that shows their revenue, number of clicks, clickthroughs, und zo weiter). It's cool-enough looking and fun enough to play with that I'm actually gonna try using it for a day or two (switching search engines is painful!).
