Participate in Social Search, Win an iPod?
I don’t usually list news items, but I just couldn’t resist this one. I have mentioned sites such as Rollyo before, websites where users can go to create custom search engines without any technical expertise. I think that librarians and information professionals are the perfect filters for Internet searching, and with tools such as this they can recommend online resources in a searchable format. Rollyo is holding the “Great Searchroll Roll-off”, in which the winner will be awarded a video iPod, and an “extreme sense of well-being”. The contest runs between Nov. 9-16. What’s involved? You can check out all the details here. And if you’re interested, you can check out my latest creation here. Get rolling!
Hey. I had a rollyo account “http://rollyo.com/burster/” but I had not created a search roll. I just made it. It’s a unique thing, a good idea, but I think i will rarely use it. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration.
