SearchLikeMe.com - An Alternative To Aggregators

We can define Search Like Me as a tool for navigating and sharing the WWW. That is, it is a system which empowers users who are performing searches (regardless of which search tools they are actually employing) to organize what they come across by topic, annotate it, invite others to collaborate on it, and then share it with everybody.

Hence the title of the site – Search Like Me users can easily retrieve the research that has been conducted by others and benefit from saving a considerable amount of time.



To me, the site stands as a clear alternative to social bookmaking. The key to its appeal might just as well be that the emphasis is on benefiting individuals rather than the community alone. All these individuals that are reticent to browser-based bookmarking or aggregators might like the concept at play here. I doubt they will object to the premise of finding knowledge collectively - after all, that is always the most fulfilling way of interacting. It is more like they don’t enjoy the avalanche of link sites like Digg unearth every time. SearchLikeMe is very easy to use (not to mention free), and the interface is certain not to get in the way.
